MPhil Optional Modules 2019/20
MPhil students choose four optional modules over the course, two modules during Michaelmas and a further two modules during Lent. You may choose modules that follow on from your previous studies, or you may take up a discipline that is entirely new to you, if you are prepared to undertake the necessary background reading.
It is recommended that at least one of your modules is closely related to the field in which you intend to write your dissertation. Full details of each module will be given during the Induction Programme in October, and there will be opportunity to discuss your choices with module leaders as well as the MPhil Director before making a final decision.
Modules options change a little each year and it is occasionally necessary to change the content of modules. The following modules are planned:
Michaelmas 2019:
- Capitalism and Society
- Modernity and Subjectivity in Latin American Culture

Lent 2020:
