The University of Warwick’s School of Modern Languages & Cultures invites applications from highly qualified prospective doctoral students for its PhD programmes in French, German, Italian, and Hispanic Studies, and Translation & Translation Cultural Studies (TTS, including Chinese).
The School of Modern Languages & Cultures offers a stimulating environment for doctoral study in modern languages from the Renaissance to the present day. Get in touch to ask about specialist supervision in literature, area studies, cinema & media studies, gender studies, philosophy and thought, politics, reception studies, translation studies, and more.
For further information, see the School’s webpages on postgraduate study.
Doctoral funding is available through university-wide schemes (Chancellor’s International Scholarships, China Scholarship Council/University of Warwick scholarships), the AHRC Midlands4Cities Doctoral Training Partnership, and joint PhD programmes (e.g. the Monash-Warwick Alliance, Shanghai Jiao Tong University-Warwick Joint PhD programme).
Given the early deadlines (in late November; December; or January, depending on the scheme), and the multi-stage selection process, we encourage applicants to get in touch with their preliminary enquiries by sending an academic CV and draft research proposal to the School Director of Graduate Studies, Professor Ingrid De Smet (I.de-Smet@warwick.ac.uk), as soon as possible, and/or to the relevant subject-specific postgraduate research admissions advisors:

- Hispanic Studies (incl. Latin America): Assoc. Prof. Tom Whittaker (t.whittaker@warwick.ac.uk)
