Spanish is the world's second most widely spoken language with an estimated 350 million speakers. An increasing number of these are in the United States, as well as Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, Peru and elsewhere. Speaking Spanish opens up a vast new world of rich cultures that can be seen in many walks of life including music, fashion, sports, cinema, literature and the arts.

Studying Spanish can lead to exciting job opportunities in business, education, tourism and media. UCC is home to the country’s only Centre for Mexican Studies and the Irish Centre for Galician Studies. We are also the only course in Ireland to offer Portuguese, Catalan and Galician (Gallego) alongside our modules in culture, linguistics and history of the Hispanic world.
