Latin American Pathway for Postgraduate Study
There are two full Latin American modules, and one Early Modern Iberian and Latin American module, available within the MPhil (Masters) in Literature, Culture and Thought (LCT). One of these is also available within the MPhil in Film and Screen Studies. You can also undertake aÌýÌýwithin the Department of Spanish and Portuguese as part of theÌý.
MPhil (Masters) Study
The available MPhil modules are:
- Cinema and the Politics of Representation in Latin America (available for LCT and Film Studies)
- Present Pasts, Pasts Present: Reflections on Literature and History in Latin American writingÌý(available within LCT) and
- Myth and Invention: Medieval and Early Modern Iberian and Latin American CultureÌý(available within LCT)
The first two of these modules are run by the Centre of Latin American Studies (), but please note that you can takeÌýbothÌýmodules within the Faculty of MMLL because they are full "native" modules of the LCT MPhil, and do not count as borrowed modules.Ìý You can of course also combine either with any of the other available modules from the Section of Spanish and Portuguese, or within the Faculty more broadly.

PhD Study
We also welcome enquiries from those interested in undertaking aÌýPhDÌýin any area of Latin American Cultural Studies. All students will study under the umbrella of the Latin American Cultural Studies Consortium, which is made up of the Section of Spanish and Portuguese and the Centre of Latin American Studies. You would become a member of both Departments and would have access to all of the facilitiesÌýoffered by both of these institutions. You should identify a member of staff with whom you would like to work and make initial contact by email, describing your educational background, your research interests and an initial idea of the project you wish to undertake. If you are unsure whom to approach, you may seek advice from any of the Latin Americanists who teach for the Department: Steven Boldy, Geoffrey Kantaris, Rory O'Bryen, Joanna Page, or Erica Segre.
Please see the contact information on theÌýÌýpage.
