Spanish plus Hispanic Studies
Dates & Fees 2008

This programme is intended for students who want to attain a high level of Spanish and learn about the civilisation and culture of Andalucía and Spain.

It is ideal for a “gap-year” student (pre or post university) or anyone else who wants to have “fluent in Spanish” as a career enhancing qualification.

The course is divided into 2 Terms (1 academic year) which can be taken separately, assuming the correct level of Spanish.

Term 1: Beginning in August, this is an intensive course of General Spanish, from beginner level. Students may join the course at 2-week intervals according to their level.

Aim: To prepare students for the linguistic entry requirement of Term II (having completed Advanced 1 [old C2] or equivalent)

Term II: Starting in January each year this course is a combination of Advanced Spanish and an overview of Spanish culture and civilisation. (See below for details of content).

Aim: To achieve fluency in Spanish and gain an insight into the Spanish mentality and way of life through a study of Spain’s cultural heritage and life today.

4 week modules: Term II has been designed in 4-week modules to allow some students to come for just 4 weeks.
