Warwick's Modern Languages and Cultures emphasises a transnational vision of the networks of cultural history, memory, literature and identity that crisscross the Hispanic world.


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 conceptualization, 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.
