With the MA by Research (MAR), you'll undertake independent original research to gain profound expertise in your selected field. You'll receive guidance from a team of academic supervisors who are prominent specialists in your area, participate in research training workshops, and have scheduled consultations with your advisors. The MAR serves as excellent groundwork for pursuing a PhD, as it focuses solely on research without formal coursework. As a top UK institution for language and cultural studies, we provide diverse MAR options.
We blend our rich academic heritage with innovative approaches to Hispanic and Lusophone Studies, supporting extensive teaching and research across Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and Portuguese/Spanish-speaking African regions. Our close ties with Madrid's Cervantes Institute and Lisbon's Camões Institute - both located on campus - allow us to offer numerous cultural and academic events in collaboration with Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies programs.
