More information on the University and its residential and other facilities for postgraduate students can be found in the University's Postgraduate Study prospectus, which will be sent on request. At postgraduate level as at undergraduate level, the paramount reasons for choosing a particular university include the place, the environment, and the institution's commitment to students and their welfare. The School of Modern Languages does all it can to assist postgraduates with their research costs, e.g., inter-library loans, photocopying at reduced cost, facilitation of attendance at relevant conferences, and provision of access to other libraries.
Training is as a rule provided in research skills.
There is a good sense of community, with seminars, regular meetings within the framework of the School, Institutes, and Centre, of which more information is forthcoming in what follows, and a supportive and informal atmosphere.
