The MA Art History and Spanish & Latin American Studies at the University of Aberdeen offers you a unique opportunity to explore the visual cultures of diverse societies alongside a deep engagement with Spanish and Latin American languages and literatures. This programme is ideal for students passionate about understanding the historical and theoretical frameworks of art, from ancient artefacts to contemporary installations, while also developing fluency in a globally significant language. You will gain critical analytical skills and a nuanced appreciation for the interconnectedness of art, history, and culture, preparing you for a wide range of intellectual and professional pursuits.
This full-time, on-campus degree, typically completed over four years, combines rigorous academic study with practical language acquisition and cultural immersion. You will engage with core modules in art history, including the study of museums and the theory of art, alongside intensive Spanish language training and exploration of Latin American texts and contexts. A distinctive feature includes the opportunity for a period of study abroad in Spain or Latin America during your third year. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of both disciplines, equipped for postgraduate study or careers in cultural heritage, international relations, translation, and beyond.
