British universities are offering many more opportunities to study Spanish, be it on its own, with English or another language, or as part of a combined honours with other subjects. This is hardly surprising, given that Spanish is now the second most-spoken native language; a vehicle of communication for more than 437 million people; and the official language in 20 countries. This course has been designed to give you a profound, nuanced understanding of Spanish. Not only will you come to know more about the mechanics of the language – like grammar, syntax and vocabulary – but you will also learn to understand and appreciate how people live and use the language on a day-to-day basis around the world. Our students find that a language is therefore a natural fit for many subjects, enabling them to use their skills and qualifications to access diverse career opportunities at home and abroad. On a more general level, anybody who wants to travel for work or pleasure should consider taking this course.
