You will engage with a range of literary/non-literary genres including film, music and texts, from Anglo-Saxon times to the present.

Spanish

Alongside your study of Spanish language, you will explore a range of options in visual culture (including film), area-specific history, linguistics and literature.
The breadth of expertise among staff across Spanish and Latin American Studies means an unusually rich and broad curriculum.

You will also benefit from us working closely with the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and we maintain strong links with the Instituto Cervantes located here in Manchester.
