Why study
Spanish with Education at Aberystwyth University? The Spanish element of this degree is one that is culturally enriching and through the choice of various core and optional modules you will experience the flavor of Spanish life, language, culture and literature that will stimulate your linguistic fluency. The Education component of this degree will not only improve your understanding of the Education sector, but it will also strengthen your legislative knowledge.
The School of Education offers all students the opportunity through various optional modules to uncover the latest techniques and trends through the debate of current educational issues. The Department of Modern Languages provides four hours of intensive language classes per week. These classes include writing/reading, aural, listening and translation.
These core linguistic classes will provide the foundation of developing fluency in the target language. The highlight of this course for many of our students is the year abroad. You will have the option to choose whether you would like to work (paid or unpaid work experience).
Many students apply for the British Council Language Assistantship scheme which will see you work in a Spanish speaking school in various Spanish speaking countries. For students who prefer to study during their year abroad, we offer various placements with our partnered Universities across Spain and other Spanish speaking countries. Find out more by visiting our Study Abroad page.
Undergraduate lecturers in the School of Education are either qualified to PhD standard or are experienced practitioners in their field. All teaching staff currently possess, or are working towards, a recognised teaching qualification. All of the lecturers in the Department of Modern Languages are qualified to PhD level and are research active specialists in their chosen field.
We also employ highly qualified and experienced language tutors, and native-speakers, who will ensure that your learning is of the highest possible quality and who will provide you with constant support through your years of study.
