With this BA Spanish and Linguistics degree, you’ll develop strong Spanish language skills and a comprehensive understanding of Hispanic culture, while exploring how language works through the study of linguistics. You’ll improve your fluency, cultural understanding and employability skills by spending a year living and working abroad.

You’ll have the freedom to tailor your degree to areas that interest you. You could, for instance, take another language, choose modules from other subject areas, focus on linguistics, or study Hispanic culture more closely.

You could choose to go to Spain or Latin America. Through our innovative scheme in Mexico, developed in partnership with the Mexican Education Ministry, you could work as a Language Resources Assistant in a University.
