Postgraduate Study

Doing a PhD in Spanish at Cambridge has been an intellectually stimulating experience whilst also providing me with the right environment for personal growth.    My PhD focuses on Latin American and South Asian literatures and the department has encouraged and supported my interdisciplinary interests and I find that the resources at Cambridge have really allowed me to access the information and materials that I need for my research.    Also the teaching staff have been very supportive and friendly through my three years, where I have benefitted from a variety of perspectives and advice when it comes to discussing my thesis, teaching experience, or future career plans.
