Spanish with Chinese BA (Hons)

This single honour course allows you to include a substantial proportion of study in Spanish. Spanish is the major subject which counts for two-thirds of your degree, and Chinese is the minor subject which counts for the remaining third.

You will have at least 3-4 hours of language classes each week in each of your chosen languages. Tuition is mainly in small groups and there are few formal lectures. Assessment involves coursework and written and oral examinations. You will also complete a dissertation as part of your degree. Your third year will be a year abroad and involve a placement at a top-ranked university in China.
