Modern Languages and Cultures

University of Warwick

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 School of Modern Languages and Cultures 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.

Before you arrive, you will be matched to one or more of our expert supervisors and during the course. You will meet with them frequently for guidance on the conceptualisation, research and writing of your Dissertation. This will include reading and discussion of draft material.

You will also be expected to participate in the research culture of the School, for example by attending research seminars, and will receive advice on appropriate skills and career development opportunities.
