The MPhil/PhD in Hispanic Studies cultivates a boundary-crossing, transnational vision of the networks of cultural history, memory, literature and identity that crisscross the Hispanic world. Join Warwick's Modern Languages and Cultures department and study under the supervision of an internationally-leading expert.

Research and write an 80,000-word thesis on a topic of your choice under the supervision of one or more of our internationally leading experts. Suitable for students with an excellent academic record who already have considerable research skills and a clear idea of their own area of interest for further research.
