Course summary

The BA Spanish with Sport and Exercise Science course contains core modules at Level 4, and both core and optional modules at Level 5 and Level 6. In Year 1 (Level 4), you will be introduced to the multidisciplinary and practical nature of the course, covering key physical and social sciences components of sport and exercise. Year 2 (Level 5) builds upon this foundation with more in-depth learning that will encourage you to develop your understanding and the application of knowledge in both an applied and research context in sport, exercise and health. At Level 5, you can opt to focus more specifically on physical or social scientific applications of study. In Year 3 (Level 6), you will enhance and extend your skills, integrating knowledge and experience acquired throughout your studies with a focus on employability characteristics and fulfilling the requirements for your chosen career in sport, exercise and health settings, and beyond. Work placement opportunities are built into the course at Level 5 and Level 6, to enable you to apply a ‘real-world’ understanding of your knowledge and skills. Spanish can be studied in a beginner or post A Level set. At Level 4, you will develop your language skills while exploring societies and cultures across the world where Spanish is spoken. At Level 5, your Spanish language skills will be applied to real-world situations in preparation for living, studying or working abroad. You may choose to take a language study placement abroad at the end of Level 5, or undertake a Cambridge CELTA qualification for teaching English to speakers of other languages. On your year abroad, you can choose either: the exciting opportunity to study sport and exercise science in Spanish at one of our partner universities; to find a work placement; or to become a British Council English Language Assistant. In the final year, you will have the opportunity to develop professional skills in translation and mediation and Spanish in the business world. You'll also be able to explore an issue of interest to you in your major project, which provides the opportunity to bring together both your subject areas.
