A Masters by Research (MScR) programme is ideal if you would like to complete a short piece of independent research in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American studies. The programme is a good stepping-stone to a PhD, but is equally of value as a stand-alone qualification.
An MScR programme is likely to suit you if:
- you have a clear idea what you would like to write your masters dissertation about, right from the beginning of the programme
- you would like to be part of a large and supportive postgraduate community, while working independently
On this programme:
- you will take courses in research skills and methods
- you will complete two research assignments, each of 6,000 words
- you will write a 15,000 word dissertation under the guidance of an experienced and well-published supervisor
Spanish was formally added to the University of Edinburgh's curriculum in 1919. Since then, we have developed into a large teaching and research community - one of the best-established subject areas of our kind in the UK.
Today, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American studies at Edinburgh offers a unique research environment that brings together cutting-edge expertise in Iberian and Latin American cultures with a strong cross-field focus on:
- literary studies
- visual cultures
- language and society
We specialise in the major areas of literary and cultural studies, and film and visual culture, from:
- Spain, with a particular focus on Catalonia and the Basque Country
- Latin America, including Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and other countries in the region
- Portugal, Brazil and Lusophone Africa
We foster innovative postgraduate work that bridges linguistic and academic boundaries. Our research collections, resources and facilities are outstanding.
