The curriculum, according to IGNOU, includes practical modules like translation studies, interpretation, and linguistics. Upon completing the MASL program successfully, students will have the skills to express and explain various aspects of Hispanic cultures. The program is conducted exclusively in Spanish by experts in different fields, allowing students the option to exit after the first year.

Eligibility criteria:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Spanish from a recognized university, either in India or abroad.
  • Alternatively, applicants can have a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline, along with a B1 level of language proficiency in Spanish (as per CEFR) or an Advanced Diploma of Proficiency in Spanish from a recognized institution/university.

Given India’s growing interest in Latin America and the increasing movement of Indian professionals to the region, IGNOU states that the MASL program, delivered through Open and Distance Learning (ODL), offers a valuable opportunity for aspiring Hispanists and professionals.
