This four-year degree combines the study of History of Art with the Spanish language and culture. You will explore diverse art historical topics from ancient to contemporary periods, and develop high-level communication skills in Spanish. The course is designed to provide a deep understanding of the cultural contexts in which art is created. You can begin studying Spanish from scratch (ab initio) or if you have prior knowledge. A significant part of the programme involves a year abroad in your third year, where you can undertake a work placement, internship, or study at one of our partner universities in a Spanish-speaking country. If you choose not to complete the year abroad, you will graduate after three years.
Curriculum
The course is structured over four years, with the third year dedicated to a year abroad. You will take core modules in History of Art and Spanish each year, with increasing specialization and options in later years. An online Academic Integrity module is also compulsory in the first year.
