Rated as excellent by several external assessment bodies for its teaching and research, Hispanic Studies at Swansea University is the largest subject area of its kind in Wales. The most recent Teaching Quality Assessment Exercise also rated us as ‘Excellent’ for our teaching, administration and pastoral care of our students.

We have fourteen members of staff, including six native speakers, three of them specialist in Spanish, one of them in Catalan, another in Portuguese and another in teaching Spanish through the medium of Welsh.

Professor Gareth Walters, Chair in Hispanic Studies, gave his Inaugural Lecture in March 2009, entitled 'Imagining Spain'. To view his lecture, click here: Imagining Spain

The research interests of the academic staff cover a wide field from the Middle Ages to the contemporary Hispanic world (including Catalan and Latin American literatures) and this is reflected in the extensive range of modules available at all levels. We also offer a wide range of course combinations, including Single Honours Spanish and Joint Honours Spanish and Law, Spanish and Screen Studies and Spanish and TEFL. For further information, please click on Degree Combinations with Spanish. There are also many postgraduate opportunities, including MATLT, the MA in Translation with Language Technology, and the MA in Latin American Studies.

 

Our staff are actively engaged in organising, and participating in Conferences, Colloquia and Seminars. For further details, you may consult the Archive of Colloquia and Seminars organised by Hispanic Studies and CECSAM, the Centre for Latin American Studies at Swansea as well as CRISS, the Centre for Research into Iberian Stage and Screen.
