Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies (Hispanic Studies) MScR
A Masters by Research (MScR) programme is ideal if you have a clear idea of the independent research you wish to undertake at masters level. We specialise in the major areas of Spanish, Spanish-American and Portuguese literary and cultural studies, including Brazil and Lusophone Africa.
The Masters by Research is often a good stepping stone to a PhD, but equally it is of value as a stand-alone qualification. It allows you to be part of the wider taught Masters community, whilst specialising in what most interests you right from the beginning of the programme.
Spanish was formally added to the University’s curriculum in 1919 and, in the century since, has developed into one of the best-established subject areas of its kind in the UK, with teaching and research in Portuguese, Basque, Catalan, Latin American, Portuguese and Spanish studies.
