International Relations with Spanish BA

The BA International Relations with Spanish offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that combines global political analysis with advanced language acquisition and cultural studies. Students develop proficiency in Spanish through specialized language modules while simultaneously exploring international affairs, diplomacy, and global political systems. A mandatory year abroad in a Spanish-speaking country provides immersive cultural and linguistic experience, deepening both language skills and cross-cultural understanding essential for international careers. The program further enhances practical expertise through opportunities to participate in Model NATO events in Washington DC, London, and Lisbon, where students gain firsthand experience in diplomatic processes and international decision-making. In the final year, students complete an independent dissertation on a topic of personal interest, allowing them to develop advanced research and critical thinking capabilities. A wide range of optional modules throughout the program enables participants to tailor their studies toward specific professional aspirations, whether in international relations, Spanish studies, or related fields. This comprehensive approach—integrating academic rigor, language mastery, and practical experience—prepares graduates for versatile roles in international organizations, diplomacy, government service, global business, and non-governmental sectors, equipped with the analytical and linguistic tools to navigate an interconnected world.
