Master in Language and literature studies (Spanish)

This master's program in Spanish Language and Literature Studies is offered by the Philological School of Higher Education in Wrocław, in Wrocław, Poland, and runs full-time over two years, or four semesters, with English used as the language of instruction for the program. It is offered in three specialisations: Specialised Translation Studies covering Polish-Spanish and Spanish-Polish, Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language, and a general specialisation allowing free choice among available courses with no fixed professional profile. Seminars cover linguistics, applied linguistics, literary studies, and culture studies. Full-time students attend fifteen weeks of regular classes per semester, typically scheduled across three days between Monday and Friday. Each September, students register online for all their courses, selecting a seminar package from the available options in literature, culture, linguistics, translation, and teaching, and choosing the format of particular courses. The Specialised Translation track requires a good command of both Polish and Spanish, at a minimum of C1 on the Common European Framework of Reference. The program combines compulsory core courses with optional, practice- or research-oriented modules and extracurricular courses; translation-track students must register for at least four full specialised translation courses, accumulating at least twenty-four ECTS credits. On completing the program, graduates can continue to third-cycle doctoral study or enter a professional career in translation or the language industry more broadly. The curriculum aims to combine theoretical grounding with practice-based knowledge, positioning graduates for work as translators, language teachers, or specialists handling Spanish-Polish communication.
