Admissions 2026
The admissions bibliography for 2026 consists of the following introduction to the field of cultural studies, designed to help candidates prepare for the interview and become familiar with the field. Candidates will only have to select 3 chapters (in total) from Ryan’s book, which they will read and study carefully, as follows: one from the first group of chapters [3-5, 14], another from the second group [6-9], and one last chapter from the third group [10-13], according to their own interests.
