We are now recruiting for September 2015 entry (full or part time) on the MA by Research (MRes) African Studies programme at the University of Portsmouth.
Internationally-recognised staff teaching on the course include Tony Chafer, a leading specialist on France’s colonial and post-colonial relations with sub-Saharan Francophone Africa, and Natalya Vince, a leading specialist on Algerian history and Franco-Algerian relations. The teaching team has developed excellent links with the universities of
Algiers and Dakar and also with the Ecole Normale (teacher-training college) in Algiers.
All students on the course will take a 30-credit module entitled France and Africa: Decolonisation and Post-Colonial Relations. They will also do a 60-credit Research Methods programme and a 90-credit dissertation. Students on the course will be encouraged to undertake a placement in Senegal as part of the programme.
The course is likely to appeal to students from a wide variety of disciplines, including languages and area studies, history, politics and development studies. French language is NOT a course requirement. For more information, please
