Hispanic Studies and Linguistics (Hons)

The Hispanic Studies and Linguistics degree integrates language acquisition with linguistic theory, offering modules that progress from foundational language skills to advanced analysis of language structure and use. Core components cover language theory, sociolinguistics, and language-related technologies, while electives explore topics such as bilingualism, language and health, and Latin American cinema. Students spend a dedicated year abroad in a Spanish‑speaking environment, applying their skills in real‑world contexts. Assessment combines research diaries, oral presentations, examinations, and a final‑year research project that synthesizes theoretical and practical knowledge. The programme emphasizes critical thinking, analytical precision and intercultural competence, preparing graduates for careers in education, translation, media, international relations and beyond.
