This joint honours combination allows you to study two complementary European languages in global cultural contexts.

Beyond Italy, Spain and other parts of Mediterranean Europe, the programme is your gateway to the history and literatures of Latin America and the Caribbean.

No previous knowledge of Italian or Spanish is needed. Through intensive language study, including a year abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire advanced spoken and written skills in both languages.

You will learn how to discern different varieties and registers of Spanish, and can opt to broaden your linguistic portfolio with Portuguese or Catalan.

In addition to your language classes, you will be immersed in an extraordinary range of literature, film, art and theatre from around the world, explored in a historical context.
