The Augsburg Professorship of Iberian Romance Studies offers students following a Bachelor of Arts Course, a Master of Arts Course or a Teacher Training Course for secondary schools (in collaboration with the Applied Romance Linguistics et al.) a profound and intensified education in the literary, cultural and medial fields of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. Besides, the Professorship fosters individual doctorates and takes part in structured PhD programmes.

Studying complex cultural media (texts, films, etc.) from different epochs & countries and their specific socio-cultural & historic contexts as well as discourses, and by acquiring philological competences among other cultural techniques, students are able to analyze and explain competently Spanish and Portuguese literatures and cultures (including their postcolonial dimensions), not only from a regional or linguistic point of view but also intercultural and global perspective.
