Postgraduate

Being a SPLAS postgraduate gives you the opportunity to pursue your specific academic interests and to develop an advanced level of understanding of the Hispanic and Lusophone worlds. The dynamic research culture and the multidisciplinary approach of our academics (whose research interests range from Mexican and Spanish history to Brazilian cinema, from Spanish-speaking Sahara to Portuguese and Spanish writing, and from 'Chicano' and postcolonial studies to the history of sexuality in Spain) creates a challenging and unique environment for postgraduate study and research.
