Career opportunities
Skills and experience

Studying languages to degree level demonstrates that you are a good communicator, a resourceful problem solver, and someone open to other cultures and new ideas – what employers value as Intercultural Competence.

Beyond the language skills you will develop on this joint honours programme, and the nuanced understanding you will gain of diverse cultures and societies, graduating with a four-year Master of Arts degree from the University of Edinburgh shows intellectual maturity and flexibility.

The skills you will be able to demonstrate to employers when you graduate include the ability to understand, analyse and articulate key concepts, and to manage your time to meet project deadlines, both independently and in groups.

Opportunities at home and away

With both languages in the top ten of the world’s most widely spoken, Chinese and Spanish are your gateway to a great many countries and cultures in Europe, Latin America and East Asia, the latter being an increasingly powerful player in the global economy.

With increasing migration in response to changing global dynamics, there is demand for our graduates wherever you are based in the world. For example, Scotland has a strategy to enhance engagement with China. With your language and intercultural skills, you will always stand out.

Within the private, public, not-for-profit, and for-benefit sectors, previous graduates have gone on to career pathways in:

• business, finance and commerce
• communications, marketing, advertising and public relations
• education, outreach, advocacy and training
• journalism, broadcasting and media
• leisure, tourism and travel
• politics, policy work, diplomacy, civil service and law
• publishing, culture, heritage and the arts
• research, development and venture acceleration
• translating and interpreting

Further study

The enhanced research skills you will develop on a four-year programme, particularly in your honours years, are a valuable asset if you wish to continue studying at postgraduate level.

At the University of Edinburgh, for example, we typically offer Masters by Research degrees in both Chinese and Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies, and taught MSc programmes in:

• Comparative Literature
• Intermediality
• Translation Studies
