Spanish BA

Queen's University BelfastBelfast, United Kingdom

Course overview

Spanish at Queen’s introduces students to the literatures, histories, cultures and language of the Spanish-speaking world. We are proud to offer students the opportunity to learn more about Spain and Latin America and to study different periods from early modern (Golden Age) Spain and colonial Latin America to twenty-first century Spain and contemporary Latin America. Students can start to learn Spanish as beginners if they do not have an A or AS level in Spanish.

All students follow core modules in Spanish language which enable students to develop skills in written and spoken Spanish and translation from Spanish to English. The degree takes four years to complete and includes a study abroad year which many of our students say is a highlight of their degree. All our classes are taught in small groups by a dedicated team of staff, giving students the opportunity to be part of a close-knit community, participate fully in discussions and receive detailed, personalised feedback on their work.
