Royal Holloway, University of London

MA by Research (French Studies)

Program Available at Egham Campus

Over the centuries French writers, philosophers, and artists have shaped our ideas of freedom, citizenship, and the good life, challenged our views of society, identity, and cultural memory, and blazed trails of artistic expression in painting, cinema, and literature. This is reflected in the interdisciplinary scope of our French studies, making Royal Holloway an ideal place to study for a postgraduate degree in French. 

This degree enables you to independently explore your area of interest in real depth, it can also provide you with the chance to test or try out an area of study in preparation for doctoral study. Whilst you will be working independently, you won’t be alone, you will receive specialist one-to-one tuition throughout your degree. You will work closely with your specialist supervisor, or supervisors, to develop a clearly defined research topic and complete a 30,000-40,000 word dissertation.
