Over 400 million people around the world speak Spanish – which is why learning the language makes student a powerful asset to employers in an age of global opportunities. 

This course offers the ability to learn Spanish for all regardless of the students previous experience – from complete beginners to advanced speakers – and equips them to read, write and speak the language on an advanced level appropriate for the demands of today’s job market. The students will also have the chance to acquire a critical awareness of the societies and cultures of the Spanish-speaking world, as well as transferrable skills that can be applied in multiple professional and academic settings.  

In order to truly immerse themselves in the Spanish and Latin American cultures, and in most degree combinations, the student will spend an extended period studying abroad in Spain, Mexico, Chile, or Argentina.

There is also normally the opportunity to work abroad with the British Council to enhance their CV (subject to successful application), which offers students time they continue learning and experiencing the language and the culture.
