Spanish

Undergraduate (Level 8 NFQ , Credits 180 )
Spanish is a truly global language, spoken by more than 400 million people around the world.

Taught through interactive language classes, Spanish is not only accessible in the initial stages of learning, it is also richly rewarding for those interested in the more advanced subtleties of linguistic study. In tandem with learning to communicate effectively in Spanish, a combination of lectures, tutorials and group work enables you to pursue your own readings of and reflections upon works by major authors, from Cervantes to Lorca, García Márquez and beyond. This will deepen your knowledge of Hispanic culture as well as sharpening your critical faculties.

Opportunities may be available to study Portuguese and acquire translation skills

We aim to train you in the four main skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. A complementary objective is to focus on the analytical study and understanding of Hispanic literatures and cultures. If suitably qualified, students have the opportunity to study for an Erasmus year in Spain, Latin America or Portugal.

Spanish is taught in lectures and classes and there is an emphasis on independent study.

Assessments are varied and may include end-of-semester examinations, coursework, presentations and projects.
