ABOUT US

Alongside undergraduate programmes based in Modern Languages or Comparative Literature, SELCS is home to a thriving community of graduate students (both MA / MSc and PhD). Staff are actively involved in interdisciplinary teaching and research within the Department, Faculty and across UCL, as well as in collaborations with various institutions in London and internationally.
