Portuguese and Spanish | Bachelor's degree | Languages | On Campus | 4 years | Cardiff University | United Kingdom

Our aim at the School of Modern Languages is to enable our students to become ‘global citizens’. Our graduates are highly skilled linguists with a comprehensive skillset which prepares them to work in a host of careers and professions nationally and internationally. Our BA Portuguese and Spanish program (which has both beginner and post-A-level entry points) allows you to gain very high level language skills and an in-depth understanding of Hispanic and Lusophone culture. A year abroad spent working, studying or teaching in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world hones your language, your intercultural awareness and builds a valuable skill set in a job market thirsty for strong foreign language capability. Portuguese is a language with global importance, from Portugal and Brazil to several countries and regions in Africa and Asia. The British Council has identified Portuguese as one of the most vital languages for the future of the UK in the next 20 years and it is one of the most widely spoken community languages in the UK. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. Spoken by more than 400 million people across more than 20 countries worldwide, it is one of the most useful languages in the world for business and leisure alike. It opens doors to a vibrant and diverse range of cultural experiences. On completion of this four-year program, you will have a high level of language proficiency, as well as a critical understanding of key aspects of Spanish and Portuguese history, culture, literature, politics and contemporary society, depending on your areas of specialisation. The modules shown are an example of the typical curriculum and will be reviewed prior to the academic year. The final modules will be published by September.
