Study Staff Student Activities Spanish has grown considerably in recent years, partly in response to the acknowledged international importance of Hispanic countries and the increasingly significant role played by Spain and Spanish culture within the European Union. We cater for students with A-Level Spanish and for complete beginners. The degree courses we are offering are flexible and enable Spanish to be read as a minor subject, a combined major subject, or within an existing interdisciplinary scheme of study. The focus of the Spanish programme is firmly on the attainment of high levels of proficiency in written and spoken language, in aural comprehension and reading skills.
Further courses are available in contemporary Spanish history, institutions and culture.
Arrangements are made for all combined degree students and for all students participating in interdisciplinary programmes to spend a year abroad either following a course at a university or business school, or teaching in a Spanish secondary school.
