The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £150 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages will move to the Schwarzman Centre upon the completion of the project. For more information please visit: www.humanities.ox.ac.uk Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages The Faculty is one of the leading centres for the study of European language, literature, and culture worldwide, offering expertise in the entire chronological range from the earliest times to the present day, and with specialists in film studies, cultural studies, history of the book, and cultural history as well as languages and literatures. The Faculty offers expertise in French, German, Italian, Modern Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish and Czech, as well as in a range of other languages spoken in Europe. Colleagues across the various languages work together in various interdisciplinary projects and research centres, which bring specialists in language and literature together with historians, philosophers, and social studies scholars. The Faculty is partly college-based, and partly housed in University buildings in Wellington Square, where some academic staff and the Faculty’s administrative staff have offices, and at the Taylor Institution in St Giles’ where some teaching takes place and the main Faculty and research library is based. The Taylor Institution, a fine nineteenth-century building sharing with the Ashmolean Museum a commanding site on St Giles’, contains both the Taylorian Library, the largest and best resourced Modern Languages library in the country, and the Faculty’s largest teaching rooms. The Faculty is divided into seven sub-faculties: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and other Slavonic Languages, Spanish and Modern Greek. It includes 11 established professorships as well as 15 individuals with the title of professor and 80 permanent academic post holders. The colleges, which are responsible for undergraduate admissions and undergraduate tutorial teaching, admit a total of about 270 students a year to read for the Honour School of Modern Languages and its joint schools with Classics, English, History, Philosophy, Oriental Studies and Linguistics. The Modern Languages Faculty Board is 4 responsible for the admission and supervision of graduate students. There are about 50 graduates taking taught Masters degrees, and about 120 research students. For more information please visit: www.mod-langs.ox.ac.uk Sub-Faculty of French Overall Profile The Sub-Faculty of French is the largest French department in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. It has one statutory professor, 30 associate and full professors, and a senior instructor. It also benefits from the presence of a number of colleagues who support the teaching of the permanent postholders, and enhance the research profile of the Sub-Faculty. These include some tutors employed solely by colleges, research fellows, college lectrices/lecteurs, and some academic librarians. The total membership of the Sub-Faculty is over 60. The average annual intake of undergraduates to read French is 160. The Sub-Faculty teaches students a command of grammatically correct and idiomatic spoken and written French, the ability to write accurately and idiomatically in both French and English and to translate into and out of both languages with precision and sensitivity to a range of registers and styles. The curriculum allows students either to study a broad range of literary and other materials, to focus their studies on the medieval period, the early modern period, or the modern period up to the present day, or to concentrate on options in Linguistics. The emphasis in finals is very much on students’ choice, and the main papers are supplemented by options ranging widely from sixteenth-century poetry to European Cinema, Women’s Writing, Literature and the Visual Arts, or Discourses of Race. Graduates reading French can study either for a research degree (DPhil or MLitt) or follow a taught Master’s course in Modern Languages of one or two years’ duration (MSt and MPhil respectively). There are also a number of other taught courses in which French can form a component (for example, in Women’s Studies, Medieval Studies, and General Linguistics and Comparative Philology). The Sub-Faculty has an excellent record in supplying graduates for university posts both in the UK and across the world. Further information will be found on the Faculty’s web site: www.mod-langs.ox.ac.uk St Anne’s College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, and five permanent private halls, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationally-renowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. One of the largest Colleges in the University of Oxford, with around 860 students, of whom about 465 are undergraduates, St Anne’s is down to earth, ambitious, outward facing and collaborative. Established in 1879 to enable women from all backgrounds to access an Oxford education, the College is committed to securing its legacy and future by being a diverse and inclusive community that is the home of choice for the brightest and most ambitious from all backgrounds, including those who may initially think that Oxford is not for them. The St Anne’s community includes undergraduate and graduate students, academics involved in world leading research and teaching, and staff from a wide range of professional backgrounds. Helen King, Principal since 2017, is a graduate of St Anne’s who took on the role after a thirty-year career in policing, including as an Assistant Commissioner in the Metropolitan Police. As a charity and one of the 5 more modern colleges, the College’s finances depend upon a diverse range of income streams including a successful vacation conference business and the generosity of a worldwide network of committed alumnae and donors. St Anne’s is ideally located in Oxford, lying in an enviable position, slightly out of the pressure of the city centre, between the Humanities Division’s headquarters and some of its faculties, the soon-to-be-built Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, and the Maths Institute, and the University Parks and Science area. For further information about the College, please visit www.st-annes.ox.ac.uk . Modern and Medieval Languages at St Anne’s College The Medieval and Modern Languages School at St Anne’s currently comprises three Tutorial Fellows: Professor Patrick McGuinness (French), Professor Geraldine Hazbun (Spanish), and Professor Simon Park (Portuguese), eight lecturers, and one Junior Research Fellow. The School offers combined expertise in French, Portuguese, German, Italian and Spanish. The School has a diverse group of undergraduates and graduate students, and tries to attract students from the broadest range of backgrounds. Currently there are around 32 undergraduates working towards degrees in Modern Languages, of whom around 16 (about four per year) are studying French alone, or French with another language or subject like Italian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, Linguistics, English or History. The College is currently home to a number of graduates studying Modern Languages, either at Masters or Doctoral level.
