The MA in Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures: Narratives of Conflict involves two elements: a set of modules on which students will be examined in January and in May/June, and a dissertation (Minor Thesis) which students complete after their second semester. 1. Students choose a ‘lead language’; they are obliged to take both language modules in this language. 2. Students have to take at least one (in French two) of the subject-specific modules offered by the lead language subject. 3. Students have to take ML 610 (Research Skills) and the modules concerned with narratives of conflict. 4. For the remaining 10 credits, students can either choose the remaining subject-specific module(s), or they can choose two of the remaining SMLLC modules. 5. The Viva Voce Examination ML629 (conducted – at least partly – in the ‘lead language’) in early June. 6. Minor theses will be supervised by SMLLC Full-time members of staff after consultation with the student.

Candidates normally must have obtained at least a 2nd Class Honours Grade I in their primary degree, or equivalent. Applicants must have a recognised primary degree which is considered equivalent to Irish university primary degree level.
