About BA English and Spanish
Our joint honours English and Spanish degree allows you to study two complementary disciplines, both of which ask you to think carefully about culture and historical context and pay close attention to detail while comprehending and analysing language.
Students on this course will join two departments with top researchers in a great diversity of fields. You will be encouraged to develop expertise and research skills relevant to both disciplines while also considering the relationships between them.
You will explore a rich variety of texts in their social, political and historical contexts and will develop excellent critical and communication skills, both in English and in Spanish. You will also have opportunities to study aspects of history, film and linguistics as part of your Spanish programme.
Your third year is spent abroad in a Spanish-speaking environment to improve your language skills and global citizenship. You will develop excellent critical and communication skills that will prepare you for a wide range of professions. Visit Global Opportunities to find out more about where you can study abroad.
In your final year you will complete a dissertation, bringing together the skills you have developed while studying both disciplines.
