Course Description
The course combines the broad historical knowledge and research skills gained in a history degree with the in-depth cultural awareness and advanced linguistic skills that come from studying Spanish, the second most widely spoken European language in the world.
You will join two large departments with researchers working in various fields and will be encouraged to develop expertise and research skills relevant to both disciplines. Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff incorporate new research into their classes.
You will follow a structured language course in Spanish, as well as explore the rich culture and history of Spanish-speaking countries and communities, choosing from a range of units in literature, film, history, thought, politics, linguistics and visual culture. Your third year will be spent abroad where you will have the opportunity to explore historical issues in the distinct cultural and social context of a Spanish-speaking country while studying or working.
You will have the chance to explore the intersections between history and Spanish independently through a historically-minded dissertation in your fourth year, in which you will be required to use some sources written in Spanish. The combined knowledge of history, language and culture will mean you are uniquely placed to foster and to lead intercultural communication across national boundaries.
Teaching is delivered through lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and one-to-one project supervision. Assessments may include presentations, essays, commentaries, exams, collaborative projects, debates, podcasts, video essays, and dissertations.
Our course will ensure you practise a range of skills, which will make you attractive to future employers in the globalised workplace and in the sector of your choice.
Spanish can be studied from beginners' level and post-A level (or equivalent). All modern languages students have access to our state-of-the-art Multimedia Centre. You can also access extracurricular activities such as talks by visiting speakers, societies, language cafés, student newspapers, and talent shows.
