Hello!

I'm quite positive that my preposition is wrong. Can you help me out, please?

I think IN has my vote as opposed to OF... But I'm not 100% sure.

I vote for "in" too. Or "postgraduate literature and socio-humanistic context students"

PS: "socio-humanistic context": is this a course?

Yes it is, it sounds funny, doesn't it?

Well, you're usually a student of something; so that seems better here. I've no idea what "socio-humanistic context" means, though. "Sociology"?

No, cultural studies. socio here refers to society. I should find the official name of the study regardless of how stupid it sounds.

Is it horribly wrong to put in?

Thank you

It sounds wrong to me; but Americans talk about "majoring in" this or that. So "student in" may be ok in AmE.

With luck, a US member will stop by and resolve our dilemma...

Maybe, is it--

Postgraduate student of Literature in a Socio-Humanistic Context.

In cases where one is naming the line of study, I would say 'student of...'
