Bachelor of Arts in Spanish

Program Overview

This course allows you to become highly competent in Spanish, one of the world’s most widely spoken languages. You’ll find Spanish in countries as diverse as Argentina, Equatorial Guinea, Mexico and Peru, all known for their vibrant cultures and historical complexity.

You’ll gain a detailed understanding of culture and history – covering both Spain and Spanish-speaking countries across Africa and Latin America. You can also learn Catalan or Portuguese during your time with us.

Core language modules will improve your spoken and written Spanish, while our core research module in Year One will introduce you to study skills and major issues in the discipline. Optional modules allow you to explore topics like history and culture, as well as practical skills like translation and Spanish for business.

You’ll spend your third year in a Spanish-speaking country, allowing you to practise your language skills and experience a local culture.

Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies at Leeds is an exciting place for your undergraduate experience. Our friendly community of students and staff, student-led societies and outstanding pastoral support creates a friendly and dynamic atmosphere for all our students. This course will equip you with the knowledge, skills and intercultural awareness necessary to achieve your true potential and pursue a wide range of exciting global careers.

We strongly believe that the best way to build your vocabulary and refine your grammar is through the study of culture and history, and that language classes offer an excellent opportunity to acquire greater knowledge of the Spanish-speaking world. Our teaching across our modules is therefore a unique blend of language and content, and many of your modules will contain classes and/or assessment in Spanish.

Studying at Leeds means you will learn from world-leading experts in fields as diverse as Spanish popular music, translation, Venezuelan cinema, gender in the Spanish-speaking world, electronic art and writing, and nationalism and empire. Much of our teaching derives from our research activities and language scholarship in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies.
