The course composition of the specialisation is based on the traditional model of philological studies that links linguistic components with components of literary science and culture of civilization. Emphasis is also placed on the practical language competences of the graduates as they add a significant value on the labour market. Based on good practice of the Master's philological disciplines of Czech universities, the linguistic disciplines focus on the analysis of the so-called higher levels of the language system (syntax and text) and the developmental aspects of the Spanish language. Courses of literary science cover mainly the older period of the Spanish literary canon and, in accordance with modern trends, they also deal with other literature written in Spanish. The programme also includes a profiling component of optional courses.

Graduates will acquire practical language and communicative skills corresponding to level C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference.

Based on modern approaches to the scientific description of the language, graduates will extend their system knowledge of the Spanish language. Synchronic study of linguistic phenomena is also enriched with diachronic aspects, according to current linguistic tendencies, the graduates will acquire knowledge of contemporary Spanish syntax, linguistics and pragmalinguistics.

Within the literary disciplines, the graduates will extend and deepen their basic knowledge of literary history and text work acquired during their Bachelor's studies, especially regarding the earlier stages of Spanish literature and Hispanic literature.

Owing to their advanced linguistic, cultural and communication training, the graduates will be able to find employment wherever a public or private employer requires a high level of linguistic knowledge, intercultural competences and independent, critical and creative thinking such as a translator, editor, liaison officer with the Spanish speaking environment, public relations, etc. Thanks to the dual specialisation of the programme, the graduates will find greater opportunities on the labour market.
