In the first year of studies, students become familiar with various fields of study through a wide selection of introductory courses in literature, history, linguistics, and languages (Spanish, Portuguese or Ladino). In the second year, with the help of our academic advisors, students choose from a variety of courses in history, literature, politics, culture and/or linguistics. The third year of the degree program includes advanced courses which deepen the knowledge and skills that students have acquired during the first two years of their degree studies and become highly proficient in Spanish, Portuguese and/or Ladino.

These standards conform to the European higher education regulations, that is:
• End course papers: 6-8 pp.
• Seminar papers (B.A.): 9-10 pp. (Language and Linguistics), 18-20 pp. (History, Literature, Politics, Culture)
All works should be written with a space of 1.5, with margins of 3 cm. on both sides, and clearly and neatly arranged. Preferably, a single type of character should be used (e.g. Times New Roman) of standard size (e.g. 12), using a smaller size in citations and footnotes or endnotes (e.g. 10). All pages should be numbered (except the cover page).
Since papers written in Hebrew often require less space, we recommend limiting them to the minimum number of pages listed above.
Our department is the only academic center in Israel to offer MA and PhD programs in Spanish and Latin American Studies. Students can choose to specialize in two main fields: History or Literature of the Iberian and Latin American World.
We offer two types of MA degrees – with thesis (research track) or without one. In both cases, students build a personalized program with the help of our academic advisors. In PhD programs, students build their own program and timetable with the help of their doctoral supervisor/s. If a supervisor considers it adequate and productive, it is possible to have an additional supervisor from another department and/or faculty.
