Master of Science in Physics and Philosophy

at University of Bristol - Clifton Campus United Kingdom

Studying a combination of history of art and German offers an enriching experience with exciting intellectual challenges and provides a valuable skill set that is ideally tailored to an increasingly globalised workplace.

As the UK renegotiates its relationship with its European partners, the importance of German has never been greater.

You will study a combination of language, art history and culture units, spending your third year abroad in a German-speaking country on a study or work placement. While abroad, you will refine your skills in your chosen language along with your cultural understanding.

Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching resulting in a vibrant learning environment for our students as staff respond in their teaching to new developments. All modern languages students have access to our state-of-the-art multimedia centre.

This unique interdisciplinary MA offers you the opportunity to study Black Humanities through critical engagement with the histories, philosophies, languages, literatures and arts relating to local and global African and African Diaspora communities.

Based on cutting-edge research and dialogue with arts and community activists, you will study debates about race, ethics, and representation. Together we will ask how the arts and humanities reflect and generate changes in society. Through your reading and seminar discussions, you will be encouraged to tackle urgent questions concerning racism, anti-racism, and social justice. These will be discussed via historical and contemporary contexts in Africa, the Caribbean and the Americas, and Europe. Over the course of the program, you will also learn more about Black experiences in Britain, and specifically in Bristol, a city deeply entangled with the transatlantic plantation economy and site of an ongoing, complex, legacy of memory work.

The University of Bristol is home to the Centre for Black Humanities, an international hub for research that informs our teaching, ensuring the syllabus ?is always underpinned by the latest knowledge. Our members are engaged in pioneering research on topics including UK hip-hop, History and Memory of Enslavement, African literary activism and the Lusophone Atlantic (follow @BrisBlackHums for more information on the Centre’s activities). We place critical importance on being part of an international and multilingual community. This will be reflected in our program of external speakers and opportunities to engage with Bristol’s cutting edge cultural scene.
