PhD in Translation and Adaptation Studies

Queen Mary University of London

Research in Modern Languages and Cultures (MLC) contributed fully to QMUL’s strong performance in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (the latest in the series of national evaluations of research in UK universities), as part of Modern Languages and Linguistics (UoA 28B: 3.04 GPA score).

We also have strong connections with external research centres, groups and institutions, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Leo Baeck Institute, the Ramon Llull Institut (Catalan Studies), the Camões Institute for Cooperation and Language, and the University of London’s Institute of Modern Languages Research.

Many of the research staff in MLC have held leadership roles in professional organizations associations, notably Professor Adrian Armstrong’s role as President of the Association of University Professors and Heads of French (2014-17). MLC also benefits from the active involvement of a number of associated scholars, including Honorary and Visiting Research Fellows.
