Course overview

Join us for an Applicant Day to meet current students, learn more about the University and get a taste of student life so you can decide if Chester is right for you. Our Spanish with Sport and Exercise Science combined honours degree course at Chester allows you to study a dynamic blend of language acquisition, cultural immersion, and applied sport sciences. You will not only develop a very high fluency level in Spanish, but you will also gain insights into the cultures, histories and sports of the Spanish-speaking world.

You will have the chance to study abroad in Spain or Costa Rica on a five-to-eight-week placement at the end of your second year, and, if you wish, you can embark on an even bigger overseas adventure, spending a full year in Spain or Latin America, splitting your experience abroad across two countries. Whatever you decide to do, you will be able to enrich your language skills while engaging in real-world environments and will experience foreign cultures first-hand.
