Course summary
Spanish and Portuguese are now two of the world’s most important languages. In certain areas of the USA, Spanish is more widely spoken than English, whilst the Portuguese-speaking countries of Brazil and Angola have been two of the fastest growing world economies in recent years. These two languages open up new and exciting cultures and job opportunities. This is an integrated degree which enables students to gain an in-depth knowledge of two major world languages, and the modules on offer reflect the diversity of cultures in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries across the globe.
