This MA helps you develop a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and theories in cultural studies. It'll guide your research on current topics and ideas and help you understand their application in cross-cultural contexts.
The course provides an understanding of key concepts, such as intersectionality, power, race, ideology and gender in Western and non-Western cultures, including Francophone and Lusophone Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. You'll examine case studies from different disciplines, such as multilingualism and environmental studies, as well as literature, linguistics, cultural studies, history, visual and film studies, politics, society, migration studies, postcolonial, decolonial and neocolonial studies, and gender studies.
The flexibility of the programme allows you to focus on a single area of study (e.g. French Studies) or take an interdisciplinary and cross cultural approach.
The course is ideal if you have a background in French and Francophone studies, Germanic studies (German and Dutch), Hispanic and Lusophone studies (Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese; Latin America), Luxembourgish studies, or Russian and Slavonic studies (Russian and Czech; the former USSR).
This MA is designed to prepare you for a career in the arts and cultural sectors and beyond, as well as doctoral study. You'll build knowledge in your chosen specialist field through your choice of modules and your dissertation topic, which could be the foundation for a PhD project. We'll give you guidance on how to construct a PhD proposal and apply for scholarship funding as well as support you towards other careers in the cultural sector.
The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you're studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study. Use Sheffield's fee calculator or contact the Student Fees team to check.
