Master of Arts in Latin American Studies

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The Master’s makes use of scholarly contributions coming from several academic disci­plines such as modern history, literature, and linguistics, as well as from the social sciences, and has a strong focus on research.

Since this is the only European Master’s programme outside Spain that is given in the Spanish language, it allows you to make use of state-of-the-art works and material produced by Latin Amer­ican scholars.
The programme utilises the close ties the Department of Latin American Studies (TCLA) has with various academic institutions and universities in Latin America, in order to provide you with a wide choice of research locations and specialisation options.

Due to the department’s long tradition of research and teaching at Leiden University, the staff has built up a well established international reputation.
