PhD Cultural Literary and Postcolonial Studies

PhD Cultural Literary and Postcolonial Studies is a PhD program taught at School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (3 years) options.

The SOAS Centre for Cultural, Literary and Postcolonial Studies (CCLPS) offers an MPhil/PhD in Cultural, Literary and Postcolonial Studies. Students undertake research across Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies and Postcolonial Studies, with emphasis on critical theoretical skills and in-depth regional, linguistic and cultural knowledge, including Asia, Africa and the Middle East, as well as literatures written in European languages.

The programme uses a Centre-based MPhil training route, with students registered in the Centre rather than a specific regional Department.

Full-time or part-time study is available, and upgrade from MPhil to PhD takes place at the end of the first academic session for full-time students or at the end of the second academic session for part-time students.

Students have a primary and secondary supervisory committee, a generic training organised by SOAS Doctoral School, and a Research Training Seminar convened by the LCL Convenor for Doctoral Studies. A data management plan and online Research Ethics training are required.
