The programme provides high quality postgraduate teaching and research training for students wishing to specialise on Brazil, either out of academic interest or as preparation for a career related to Brazil. It offers students a distinctive approach to understanding recent changes in Brazil and the causes and impact of its social, cultural, economic and political development. The programme also allows students to study Brazil in global and comparative perspective; on the one hand, it will be possible to compare Brazil with the emerging powers China and India, by taking modules offered by the China and India Institutes; on the other, it will be possible to situate Brazil within its regional context, by taking optional modules on Latin America.

Programme structure

The programme is built around two core courses; the first introduces students to a selected set of important issues that have arisen in Brazil in recent decades, and the second provides a historical overview of Brazil’s relations with the rest of the world, from independence to the present day:

• Contemporary Brazil
• Brazil & the World

Students take at least two further courses from a list of ten offered by Brazil Institute faculty, but also have access to a range of external modules offered by departments across the Schools of Arts & Humanities and Social Science & Public Policy.

Further details of the programme structure are available on the Modules page, in the programme flyer and in the King's Graduate Prospectus.

From 2013, entry to the programme in January will be possible for part-time students (in addition to September).
