The BA in Spanish is aimed at students who wish to develop an understanding of the Hispanic world through its language, culture, literature, and contact with its people. We educate students to broaden their language competence and their analytical thinking skills to be able to understand and feel comfortable contributing to a global and multicultural society or to pursue graduate studies.
We value and encourage our students to be active, reflective, autonomous learners, and to avail of the opportunity to spend a year in a Spanish-speaking country as an essential part of their learning experience. In the course of their studies we develop confident, flexible and creative students who can communicate in Spanish, use critical and analytical skills to build their understanding of literary, cultural and social issues relevant to the Hispanic world, are sensitive to an array of academic, moral and philosophical issues and are predisposed to life-long learning.
We aim to provide a learning environment that encourages students to use and develop their language competence and their cultural knowledge of the Hispanic world.
The programme aims are delivered through lectures, interactive language classes, tutorials and the use of the virtual learning environment. As a result of this approach, learning activities and assessment approaches include individual and group projects and assignments, oral presentations, debates, on-line discussions, and reflective learning.
