Overview

In the Languages and Cultures program from University of Chester, we explore the global regions where the languages we teach are spoken, be it Chinese, French, German or Spanish.

Features

We consider the interrelationship of cultures in the formation, reconfiguration and representation of identities. 87.5% of our publications submitted to the 2021 Research Excellence exercise (REF 2021) for Area Studies were recognised as 3 and 4, internationally excellent and world leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour.

Programme Structure

Research:

While our research is defined in terms of language culture and location, the research topics we are engaged in are very wide-ranging, with an emphasis on historical, cultural and political developments in the societies living in these regions. Our research team is forward-looking and interdisciplinary, encouraging connections with the arts, humanities, social sciences and beyond.

The Department actively supports the development of international research networks. At present we are involved in collaborative projects with partners in Europe, the French and Hispanic Caribbean, Francophone Africa, Asia and North America.
