The Master's Degree in Advanced Hispanic Studies: Applications and Research offers specialised academic and research training. The flexible design of the Study Plan tries to cover this double objective: on the one hand, an academic orientation of application in a professional field (teaching, cultural management, editorial field...), understood as a deepening in the knowledge and development of Hispanic Studies. On the other hand, the Master is intended to serve as an instrument for students whose demands for specialisation tend towards research in Spanish language, literature and Hispanic theatre, thus offering specific subjects that deepen this research orientation. These orientations are reflected in each of the three proposed itineraries (see Master's Programme).

This Master is taught by lecturers in the Department of Spanish Philology, attached to the Faculty of Philology, Translation and Communication. It is responsible for the Degree in Hispanic Studies: Spanish Language and Literatures, as well as the Master's and Doctorate in Advanced Hispanic Studies. The Department, internationally recognised for its teaching and research excellence, is made up of three teaching units: Spanish Language, Spanish Literature and Portuguese, in which the teaching staff and their respective lines of research are registered (available in the tab dedicated to the End of Master's Project; see Master's Programme on this website). The Department is committed to an open and modern conception of philological work, based on interdisciplinary dialogue, a critical perspective and the development of new and interconnected methodologies that revitalize the knowledge of philology and enliven its contribution to scientific and cultural discussion, explore and interpret historical processes and cultural debates, giving them a humanist meaning.
