Course summary

Spanish is the official language in 20 countries and is widely spoken in four more territories, including the United States. As well as having over 400 million native speakers, it is spoken as a second language by around nine million people, globally, making it an excellent partner subject to Business. Spanish Spanish at Edinburgh celebrated its centenary in 2019, and our wide-ranging courses are taught by leading experts in their field. You will receive intensive language training, giving you the opportunity to develop advanced spoken and written skills in the Spanish language. You will learn how to discern different varieties and registers of Spanish, and gain crucial intercultural competencies. You will be invited to explore the diverse and rich cultures of Spain, Latin America and the Caribbean through an extraordinary range of literature, film, poetry and theatre, studied in its historical context. Business Studying business will prepare you for the social, political, environmental and cultural challenges facing contemporary businesses, governments and not-for-profit organisations. Taught by world-leading industry professionals and researchers, you will develop personal and professional competencies such as authentic leadership; ethical, responsible, sustainable business behaviour; entrepreneurial practice; and effective communication. This will enable you to work across a range of roles in contemporary business including:

  • accountancy and finance
  • strategy
  • marketing
  • human resource management
  • data analytics
  • entrepreneurship and innovation
The Business School Student Development team provide opportunities for you to develop a range of essential business graduate competencies. You may take undergraduate Edinburgh Awards supported by an alumni professional mentor and trained coaches:
  • Personal and Professional Development (Year 2)
  • Effective and Responsible Leadership (Year 3 or 4)

This programme is a more wide-ranging alternative to the International Business with Spanish programme. Alongside courses in local and global business, you will study Spanish and associated cultures over the full four years, and be able to take more option courses in Years 1 and 2. On your year abroad (Year 3), you will not necessarily study business courses, but you will complete an independent piece of research on a contemporary business issue relating to the country in which you are studying or working. In Year 4, in addition to Spanish language and cultural study, you will choose three honours-level courses from options on different aspects of business. Why Edinburgh? We are unique in Scotland in offering students a full academic year abroad within the four-year honours programme, regardless of whether you spend the year studying or working. Our programmes are highly sought-after and accredited by a wide range of leading business education organisations and professional bodies. We have leading graduate employers involved across the curriculum. Our four-year degree is also flexible. In Years 1 and 2, as well as your core subjects, you will choose option courses from a wide range of disciplines. You will then specialise as you move through your honours years, the first of which is spent abroad. When you graduate, you will have the combination of broad cultural education and specialist business and language skills valued by employers worldwide.
