Spanish combined degrees
The Spanish pathway is part of the BA Honours degree offered by the School of Humanities & Social Sciences. It allows students to specialise in the study of a language whilst also incorporating courses from a variety of other subject pathways.
Spanish courses enable students to develop reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, whilst also learning about grammar and structure.
They learn to use the language in formal and informal contexts, and study the society, culture, politics and economy of countries where the language is spoken.
In addition to formal class teaching, students are offered weekly conversation classes and are expected to undertake guided individual study in the university's language centre.
Advanced courses provide opportunities to develop language skills in the context of a research project or work placement, and culminate in a level of fluency that is appropriate for a wide range of social, academic and professional needs.
Spanish courses are taught by the School of Humanities at either the Greenwich or Medway Campus. Greenwich students may be required to travel between campuses, depending on their selected combination. Please note that students are not permitted to study a language for which they are a native speaker.

How our structure works
These are the entry levels for study on the language courses:
- Course 1 is for absolute beginners;
- Course 2 is for those students who can communicate in the language at rusty GCSE level or equivalent;
- Course 3 is for those students who have achieved A level competence or equivalent but who need to improve their knowledge of structures and consolidate their vocabulary;
If you are unsure which course will suit you best, just ask. Information sessions take place at the start of each semester. You can find out more about the languages on offer from a language lecturer and get help in choosing the right entry point.
Depending on the structure of your degree programme, you can take up to six consecutive language courses throughout your degree.
Languages and Culture Programmes
With special emphasis on building communication skills and developing cultural awareness, our languages programme will enable you to make rapid progress in the foreign language of your choice and become more effective in your chosen career.
