• The Department for Modern South Asian Languages takes a philological approach to the academic study of contemporary language use in South Asia. Alongside literature in the classical sense, research also considers original source materials which address religious, historical, and political aspects of this diverse cultural sphere. 
  • The Master’s degree programme in Modern South Asian Languages and Literature takes an academic approach to the subject and enables students to build a foundation for future, independent research. The standard period of study is four semesters, including completion of the Master's thesis. 
  • Further information about the degree programme can be found on the departmental website of the Department for South Asian Studies at the South Asian Institute. Students are advised to seek advice from the academic advisory service before or at the beginning of the degree programme.
