The School of Foreign Languages at IGNOU on January 18 announced the Master of Arts in Spanish (MASL) programme scheduled to commence in January 2024. This programme is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of Hispanic culture, literature, and history, equipping students with the knowledge to comprehend contemporary developments in the region.
The curriculum, as per IGNOU, also includes practical modules such as translation studies, interpretation, and linguistics. Upon successful completion of the MASL program, learners will possess the proficiency to articulate and elucidate various facets of Hispanic cultures. The programme, exclusively conducted in Spanish by experts in diverse fields of specialisation, offers students the flexibility to exit after completing the first year.
Eligibility criteria
— A Bachelor’s degree in Spanish from a recognised university/institution. It could be either an Indian varsity or abroad.
— Alternatively, applicants may hold a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline, supplemented by a B1 level of language competence in Spanish (as per CEFR) or an Advanced Diploma of Proficiency in Spanish from a recognised institution/university.
With the growing interest of India in Latin America and the increased mobility of Indian professionals to the region, the MASL program, delivered through Open and Distance Learning (ODL), presents a valuable opportunity for aspiring Hispanists and professionals alike, says IGNOU.
