Modern Languages and Cultural Studies offers MA and PhD degree programs in

Students develop and explore research questions in a creative, dynamic, and
international learning environment that emphasizes both academic and
professional training. Our large and distinguished faculty can guide
diverse theoretical approaches to research—including gender and sexuality
theory, visual cultural theory, urban studies, folklore, film theory,
digital and internet studies, discourse analysis, second-language
acquisition, and more—in time periods ranging from the premodern to the
contemporary, in a wide range of languages, and in diverse cultural
regions. In addition to research-focussed, thesis-based MA and PhD
programs, we offer a course-based MA focussed on professional development.
All of our programs feature interdisciplinary and transcultural seminars, a
student-designed professional development portfolio, and colloquia that
support collaboration and accelerated time to degree completion.

MA and PhD studies in Modern Languages and Cultural Studies at the
University of Alberta means exposure to and engagement with a broad range
of linguistic, national, and cultural perspectives in a setting that
encourages collaborative problem solving, creative risk-taking, and
critical reflection. Uniquely equipped with skills in cultural
communication and a commitment to diversity, our graduates pursue careers
in government, business, and academia as educators, researchers,
communication experts, and global leaders.
