Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Oriental Studies; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. 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. 4 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 with most academics having offices in colleges, and partly housed in University buildings for the Faculty’s professional services staff and teaching spaces. From October 2025, the Faculty spaces will be in the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. In addition to a new Humanities library, plus office and teaching space, the building will offer a range of new public spaces, including a 500-seat concert hall and a 250-seat auditorium, as well as flexible performance and exhibition spaces for music, dance, and art. There will be a café open to staff, students and members of the public. It is designed to be as accessible and as environmentally sustainable as possible. 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 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 5 Sub-Faculty of French 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 6 St John’s College Established in 1555 as a constituent college of the University of Oxford, St John’s College fosters excellence in education and research. It is one of the largest among Oxford Colleges and nearly every subject studied at the University has its representation. Today, St John's is home to approximately 390 undergraduates, 250 graduate students, 100 fellows and 25 College lecturers. A vibrant international community, it fosters intellectual rigour, creativity, and independence in its students, teachers, and researchers. The College supports a range of research activities including discussions, seminars, workshops, public lectures and visiting scholar schemes, as well as the Research Centre, which particularly emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches. While scholarly publication is naturally at the heart of our research endeavours, the fellowship is also committed to informing policy and public debate, and to teaching that is informed by research findings. (Further information about the College is available at http://www.sjc.ox.ac.uk) French Language at St John’s St John’s admits around five to seven undergraduates in French each year to read the four-year Modern Languages course, including joint schools involving Classics, Modern History, English, Philosophy and Middle Eastern Languages. The successful candidate will join a dynamic Modern Languages team in the College including the Official Fellow in German (Professor Barry Murnane), a lecturer in Early Modern French Literature, specialist language teachers in French and German, as well College Lecturers in French Linguistics, Russian, Spanish and Italian.
