Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
Doctorate-level study is an opportunity to make an original, positive contribution to research in Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies (formerly Hispanic Studies).
Join our interdisciplinary community and undertake your PhD under the guidance of our experienced and well-published supervisors.
Spanish was formally added to the University’s curriculum in 1919 and, in over a century since, has developed into one of the best-established subject areas of its kind in the UK, with teaching and research in Portuguese, Catalan, Spanish and Latin American studies.
In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), our research was submitted in Modern Languages. The results reaffirm Edinburgh’s position as one of the UK’s leading research universities. We were ranked third in the UK based on the quality and breadth of its research in Modern Languages, according to Times Higher Education's REF power ratings.
We specialise in the major areas of Spanish, Latin American and Lusophone (including Brazil and Lusophone Africa) literary and cultural studies, and film and visual culture.
We have particular strengths in:
- the Spanish Golden Age
- Modern Spanish narrative
- Latin American poetry and narrative, especially in Chile and Argentina from the 19th to 21st centuries
- Women's and Gender Studies
- Indigenous and Afro-descendant filmmaking
- Memory and Post-Memory Studies
- Caribbean Studies
- Diaspora studies and Visual culture (film, graphic arts, performance)
- Lusophone African literatures
- Portuguese contemporary culture
Across the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures and the wider University, we are able to support PhD theses crossing boundaries between languages and/or disciplines, including:
- comparative literature
- film studies
- translation studies
Over the course of your PhD, you’ll be expected to complete an original body of work under the expert guidance of your supervisors leading to a dissertation of usually between 80,000 and 100,000 words.
You will be awarded your doctorate if your thesis is judged to be of an appropriate standard, and your research makes a definite contribution to knowledge.
| Level | SCQF Level 12 |

| Entry requirements | Entry requirements for individual programmes vary, so please check the details for the specific programme you wish to apply for on the University of Edinburgh website. You will also need to meet the University’s language requirements. |
