Course summary

This wide-ranging joint honours programme is your opportunity to study two very different European languages in their diverse cultural contexts. Spanish is one of the five most widely spoken languages in the world. Through literature and other media, the languages and cultures of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have long had a considerable impact beyond the Nordic region. Over the course of four years on this programme, including a year abroad, you will develop advanced spoken and written skills in Spanish and in either Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. No previous knowledge of any of the languages is required.In tandem with language classes, you will explore aspects of Scandinavian, Spanish and Latin American culture. Courses cover: film literature history politics language linguistics media and cultural productionYou can also build knowledge and skills in different areas of the arts, humanities and social sciences, particularly in your pre-honours years (Years 1 and 2).While you will specialise in one Scandinavian language, you will also gain a working and social understanding of the other two we teach to degree level.Beyond Europe, the programme is your gateway to a great many cultures, societies and career opportunities across Latin America and the Caribbean.
