Spanish

Spanish is spoken by roughly 360 million people in Spain and the Americas. The political, social and cultural importance of Spanish increases every day, and a degree in Spanish opens an array of professional opportunities for you. As a student in the Spanish section of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, you not only receive comprehensive training in the Spanish language itself, but also gain a broader perspective on the Hispanic world through the study of linguistics, literature, culture and cinema—exactly the combination you need should you decide to move on to master's and PhD-level studies.

In addition, you can complement your formal training thanks to a full program of social and cultural activities (films, lectures, conferences, Spanish Club, etc.), often held in conjunction with embassies and various organizations in the national capital. You can also complete part of your studies abroad through exchange programs at universities in Spain and in Spanish America.
