Course info
The Hispanic Studies section has the oldest chair of Spanish in the country (established 1908). It has a distinguished tradition of excellence within an extensive area of teaching and research which includes not only the Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), but also Latin America (Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, etc). It co-operates, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with the University's Institute of Latin American Studies. Among the section's achievements and publications in research are the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, a quarterly journal of international influence (published by Liverpool University Press), Hispanic Textual Research and Criticism (TRAC) and scholarly series of books and editions. Postgraduate supervision and courses are offered in diverse specialist subjects within the broad range of Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan and Latin American Studies. This reflects the varied research interests and publications of members of staff in the section. Postgraduate students have at their disposal in the Sydney Jones Library large holdings in Hispanic books and periodicals, which are among the most comprehensive in the country, and access to the Internet. Research in Hispanic Studies was graded 4 in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise.
