Course Description
If you’re passionate about history but also dream of spending time in a Spanish (or Portuguese for those with A Level Spanish) speaking country and becoming fluent in the language – how do you choose which degree to study: We say, choose both!
This joint honours course allows you to combine your curiosity for human experience with your love of communicating in another language.
With Hispanic Studies modules ranging from ‘Business and Society in Spain’ to ‘Hispanic Cinemas’ and History modules ranging from 'The Past That Won't Go Away: the Spanish Civil War' to 'Modern Latin American History' – you’re able to truly personalise this intercultural degree around your personal interests or career aspirations.
Many of our students say the year abroad is their course highlight. Not only do you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Hispanic and/or the Lusophone language(s) and culture(s), but spending time abroad can make you more independent and confident. Taking yourself out of your comfort zone won’t only benefit your degree, it’ll shape the person you are to become.
