MPhil in European, Latin American and Comparative Literatures and Cultures 2024/25
Lent term 2025 Modules听
Each year, during the summer months before term starts, students are asked to pre-select two modules. The听list of modules offered can change from year to year depending on the availability of academic staff. Students are asked听for back-up choices just in case modules are under or over-subscribed, but the faculty听endeavour to offer first preferences where possible.
Students are advised that, in cases where numbers are very small, a module may be suspended. Where a module does go ahead with a small number of students (typically one or two students), those students can expect a reduction to the relevant contact hours (normally 6 sessions will be reduced to 4).听
Some, but not all, of the modules advertised may be borrowable by students from other Departments/Faculties, subject to availability, course regulations听and approval from both sides.听 Numbers may be limited, and students enrolled on the ELAC MPhil take priority. 听Queries should be directed to the MMLL Postgraduate Office on postgraduatestudies@mmll.cam.ac.uk.
