Summary

This course been temporarily suspended for the 2023-24 academic year only.

Our MA Western Marxism and Translation will equip you both with important subject knowledge in Western Marxism and translation skills from English into your mother tongue. You will study at a world-leading centre for Western Marxism, with modules focused on the Frankfurt School, and Western Marxist critiques of capitalism. You will also benefit from the excellent translation modules and expertise available at Essex.

To cap off your studies, you will – with the help of individual supervision by both a subject expert and a translation expert – translate a not-yet-translated source from Western Marxism and write a scholarly commentary on it. This will place you in an excellent position to pursue an academic career (or another career in research or teaching).

We are 7th in the UK for research impact in philosophy (Grade Point Average, REF2021).
