Welcome to the Centre of Latin American Studies
The Centre of Latin American Studies (CLAS) was founded in 1966 to promote research and teaching on Latin America in the University. In addition to offering a taught MPhil (Masters) course in Latin American Studies, the Centre provides supervision for PhD (doctoral) students, sponsors research projects, organizes conferences and invites scholars from Latin America and universities around the world to speak at weekly open seminars. It hosts the prestigious Simón Bolívar Chair of Latin American Studies, a visiting professorship for distinguished Latin American intellectuals. CLAS also maintains a library containing over 12,000 volumes, together with an important archive of more than 500 Latin American films.
