About the Department
Today Spanish is an exciting area of study and, in spite of the growing numbers of students, the Department
has a strong commitment to small-group teaching and prides itself on its friendly atmosphere and supportive
ethos.
We offer courses in a variety of areas and from an multidisciplinary and comparative perspective at
undergraduate level: Spanish linguistics, medieval literature and culture, 17th, 18th, and 19th century
literature, translation studies, contemporary Latin American and Peninsular literature, history, politics,
and culture.
Spanish is taught by a variety of methods, both innovatory and traditional, in order to equip our students
with a comprehensive range of skills in the fluent, accurate and sensitive understanding and use of the
written and spoken language of today.
