Pembroke is one of the larger language colleges both in terms of tutors and students, with a wide range of language options including French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Modern Greek.

Our key tutors in Modern Languages are Dr Tim Farrant, Tutorial Fellow in French with research interests in 19th century French literature and culture, and Professor Guido Bonsaver, Tutorial Fellow in Italian who specialises in 20th century Italian culture and the relationship between political history and narrative. We also have two tutorial fellows in Philosophy; Professor Guy Kahane, whose primary research focus is on theoretical and applied ethics and human morality, and Professor James Read, whose research interests lie primarily in the philosophy of physics, and the foundations of space-time theories.

The Philosophy community within College is particularly extensive. Our strong focus on joint schools also means that our tutors from different disciplines will work closely together throughout the course of your degree, to deliver a collaborative and enriching academic experience.
