Why is this course for me?

Spanish is a truly global language, spoken by more than 400 million people around the world. Taught through interactive language classes, Spanish is not only accessible in the initial stages of learning, it is also richly rewarding for those interested in the more advanced subtleties of linguistic study. In tandem with learning to communicate effectively in Spanish, a combination of lectures, tutorials and group work enables you to pursue your own readings of and reflections upon works by major authors, from Cervantes to Lorca, Garcia Marquez and beyond. This will deepen your knowledge of Hispanic culture as well as sharpening your critical faculties. Opportunities will be available to study Portuguese and acquire translation skills. We accept absolute beginners (taught separately in first year) and non-beginners. Opportunities exist for suitably qualified students to spend an extra year abroad and graduate with a BA (International). If you wish to reach the level of linguistic proficiency required by employers, we recommend that you opt for the four-year BA (International) degree.
