Philosophy and Spanish

This degree combines philosophy with the study of Spanish, one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. The course is ideal for those with an inquiring mind and a passion for exploring the cultures of other countries and societies, including those of Latin America. The course provides a valuable skill set, ideally tailored to the increasingly globalised workplace.

Spanish can be studied from beginners' level and post-A level (or equivalent).

For philosophy, you will study units covering an introduction to philosophy, logic, and realism and normativity.

You will also follow a structured language course in Spanish and explore the rich history and culture of Spanish-speaking countries and communities, choosing from a range of units in literature, film, history, thought, politics, linguistics and visual culture. You will spend your third year abroad in a Spanish-speaking country, extending your language skills and cultural knowledge.
