Course summary

Prepare for international business, becoming versed in Hispanic languages and culture while studying finance and management. This programme consists of the major element Hispanic Studies and the minor element Business Management. No prior knowledge of Spanish is required. From the regions of Spain to the diverse countries of Latin America, Hispanic Studies covers the history, politics, sport, literature and film of several nations. As the second most widely spoken language in the world, Spanish is an important tool for intercultural communication. Teaching of written and spoken Spanish continues all the way through to your final year, combining practical language teaching with modules that explore the language in different contexts. You may also be able to learn the Catalan language as part of your degree, thereby widening your access to other rich cultures. You’ll also learn about financial management, marketing, strategy and human resources, with business modules making up about one-quarter of your programme. You’ll spend your third year studying or working in a Spanish-speaking country, immersing yourself in its language and society.
