Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies Research MPhil/PhD

King's College London, University of London

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures offers research strengths and opportunities for PhD supervision across all periods of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American studies, including the study of literature, history, cultural studies, film, drama and music. Spanish was first taught at King’s in 1831, and the teaching of Portuguese in British universities was pioneered by King’s in the 1860s. Since the establishment of the Cervantes Chair in 1916 and the Camoens Chair in 1919, King's has become a world-leading centre for Spanish and Portuguese studies and our commitment to this field within the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at King’s continues this tradition of innovation and research strength. Our commitment to all areas of Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Latin America and Lusophone Africa, combined with the wide-ranging teaching and research interests of the staff, means that we are able to offer an unrivalled variety of supervision topics for postgraduate study.
