COURSE OVERVIEW
This programme offers you the opportunity to focus on Spanish and Latin American Studies or Luso-Brazilian Studies, and learn Spanish to an advanced level. Applicants with near-native or native speaker level Portuguese are also welcome to study Portuguese at a higher level. Spain, Portugal and Latin America offer exciting possibilities for the study of literature, culture, history and society. Our interdisciplinary modules cover cultural aspects of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American film, literature, visual culture, linguistics, history and history of art. Included in these is, for example, the study of world cities such as Barcelona, Lisbon, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro. Leaders in their fields, our language experts, lecturers and researchers provide a unique environment for you to learn and share your experience.
The third year is normally spent at a partner institution in a Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking country to allow you to develop your language skills and your knowledge of the culture of the language-speaking area you are studying.
You can also apply for a three-year version of the programme without a year abroad, and you will normally also be able to transfer to this version of the programme during your first or second year of study if you decide you do not wish to study outside of the UK.
The programme is also available for part-time evening study over four years.
