Welcome
Welcome to the webpage of the Huelva University Faculty of Humanities
On behalf of all Faculty staff, the Dean and her team would like to give a warm welcome not only to our students, both local and international (whose number increases year by year), but also to those who have expressed a keen interest in the academic and cultural life of our dear institution.
Our main objective is for the Faculty of Humanities not just to become a cornerstone of specialised knowledge and critical thinking at the University of Huelva, but to uphold and project humanist and democratic values within the society around us. More than ever, we should reaffirm an ethical and intellectual commitment to promote human rights, defending contemporary principles of individual freedom, equality and solidarity, so often forgotten in these troubled times.
Inspired by these fundamental principles, this Faculty embraces and valorises all those disciplines commonly named as “Humanities”, which, far from offering a mishmash of unrelated and presumably useless ideas, emerge as a coherent body of knowledge that, in its own humane way, insists on the freedom and dignity of all humans.
We share a deep passion for everything that renders us “human” in our daily activities, such as our dedication to the arts and letters, accurate historical analyses, as well as to the ongoing assessment of today’s geopolitical scenarios. We similarly defend our love for historical and cultural heritage, in our attempt to make our students reflect on the importance of ethical values of tolerance and respect towards “the other”.
On this website, you shall find detailed information regarding the organisational structure of this Faculty, the services it provides, as well as the administrative procedures for students and lecturers alike. This website also includes all you need to know about the Faculty’s academic programs, together with a list of departments and lecturers’ contact information.
Nowadays, our educational offer includes six undergraduate degrees: History, Humanities, Cultural Management, English Studies, Hispanic Philology, and the double degree in English Studies and Hispanic Philology. In addition, the postgraduate program focuses on four master's degrees: Historical and Cultural Heritage, Languages and Literature in Contrast: Advanced Studies, Gender Studies, Identities and Citizenship, and Historical Analysis of the Modern World.

These studies are supported by a set of ten departments, three of which are linked to and located in the center such as History, Geography and Anthropology, English Studies and Philology, in addition to seven others located in other centers of the University of Huelva: Integrated Didactics, Clinical and Experimental Psychology, Economics, Business Management and Marketing, Financial Economics, Accounting and Operations Management, Theodor Mommsem, Public and Labor Law and Anton Menger.
But all this would not be possible without our main assets: our human resources and their sense of “community”. This is certainly a close-knit center, whose faculty, students, and administrative and service staff offer every day the best of themselves to build a suitable and reflective environment, where all opinions and sensitivities have their space.
Quality teaching, excellent research, intellectual restlessness, and openness to society are the signs that identify us and that we hope will continue to grow with the involvement of all those who constitute the “Great Family of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Huelva”.
We await you with the best we have. In the teaching and learning practices promoted at this Faculty, we aim to follow Thomas Mann’s ideas when, in 1924, he wrote:
The Magic Moutain
But what was humanism? The love of humanity, nothing more, and that is why humanism is also political, a rebellion against everything that sullies and dishonors the idea of humanity.
