The IMESS Programme

The IMESS degree offers three distinct interdisciplinary study tracks, reflecting the unique multidisciplinary expertise of the IMESS partner institutions. Students enrol onto one of the study tracks and specialise, from beginner's level, in one of the partner institution languages. Additionally, for non-native English speakers a nine-week course in 'Academic writing in English' is included in the first semester at UCL. Each IMESS track combines compulsory language training, research methodology, specialist electives and a research dissertation carried out from the end of the first year.

Detailed information on the IMESS Programme Structure is available here.
