The programme emphasises practical language skills and trains students for the current international demand for linguists. A core language programme is complemented by a range of options and electives grouped around the cultural, historical and political development of modern Spain and Latin America. Students can take such modules as languages for business purposes, translation and interpreting, or modules enhancing understanding of the Hispanic world. Language modules consist of workshops and full use is made of contemporary textual, audio and visual materials. All students engage in resource-based learning using multimedia language laboratories and a resource centre.
