Summary

Royal Holloway is a thriving centre for postgraduate research in Hispanic Studies with particular expertise in cultural studies, critical theory, feminism and gender theory, psychoanalysis, film studies, literature and the visual arts, both in Spain and Latin America.

The cultural wealth of the Spanish-speaking world, with all its vibrancy and diversity, continues to make a unique contribution to our civilisation, while Spain itself is now a major player on the European stage and we have excellent links in Spain and Latin America. All of this provides a rich backdrop for what is a fascinating and varied field of study.

This degree enables you to independently explore your area of interest in real depth, it can also provide you with the chance to test or try out an area of study in preparation for doctoral study. Whilst you will be working independently, you won’t be alone, you will receive specialist one-to-one tuition throughout your degree. You will work closely with your specialist supervisor, or supervisors, to develop a clearly defined research topic and complete a 30,000-40,000 word dissertation.

You will be part of our research-led environment in which academic staff are working at the frontiers of their subjects. The breadth of our teaching and research expertise means that we are able to provide the latest thinking, expert support and intellectual challenges.

In addition to your dissertation you will undertake a taught course designed to equip you with an array of theoretical and historical approaches to the study of literature, art and culture. This will enable you to articulate, refine and persistently test your own approach to your chosen topic within this broader theoretical and methodological framework. You will also have access to skills training and enjoy the additional support of a dedicated Research Advisor.
