This course will encourage you to explore how the various forms of communication that shape your everyday life operate differently in Spanish-speaking contexts. The degree is available to applicants at beginners’ or post-A level Spanish. In Spanish you study the Spanish language and the history, culture, cinema and literature of the Spanish-speaking world. In communications studies you examine the theory and history of media and communications in a global context. You will have developed independence of mind and will be inclined to question the modern world in more detail. Your transferable skills will include the ability to critically analyze the media, communicate effectively, develop and sustain a reasoned argument, and produce independent research. The language skills you will have gained, particularly if you have spent a year abroad, will recommend you to employers.
