Course summary
If youre passionate about history but also dream of spending time in a Spanish (or Portuguese for those with A Level Spanish) speaking country and becoming fluent in the language – how do you choose which degree to study: We say, choose both. This joint honours course allows you to combine your curiosity for human experience with your love of communicating in another language.
Modules cover language, business, culture, history and politics so youre able to truly personalise this intercultural degree around your personal interests or career aspirations.
How you will learn
When you begin studying at university, you will probably find that you cover material much more quickly than you did while studying for your A levels. The key to success is preparing well for classes and then taking the ideas you encounter further in your own time.
Lectures – provide an overview of what you are studying, using a variety of audio and visual materials to support your learning.
Seminars and workshops – give you the chance to explore and interact with the material presented in lectures in a friendly and informal environment. You will be taught in a smaller group of students, with discussion focusing on a text or topic you've previously prepared.
Workshops are more practical, perhaps through exploring texts, working with digital materials, or developing presentations.
Tutorials – individual and small-group tutorials let you explore your work with your module tutor, perhaps discussing plans for an essay or presentation, or following up on an area of a module which has interested you.
eLearning – our virtual-learning system, Moodle, offers 24-hour access to teaching materials and resources.
Careers overview
Studying languages can open up a world of opportunities. From banking to charities and from teaching to MI5, businesses and organisations across the globe seek to employ language specialists.
During this degree youll be able to choose from a wide range of modules, allowing you to tailor your studies around personal interests. In doing so youll start to identify potential career paths and begin to discover your areas of professional interest.
In addition to language skills, youll develop transferable skills highly sought after by employers such as confident communication skills, strict attention to detail and the ability to work within different cultures and organisational styles.
Combining language studies with history will help you develop critical reasoning skills, becoming an innovative problem solver able to communicate effectively.
