BA Anthropology and Spanish
Students studying Anthropology and Spanish gain an understanding of socio-cultural differences and similarities and how they arise, are transmitted and develop. You acquire knowledge and understanding of the inter-relationship between texts and contexts, a familiarity with debates surrounding culture and identity, both individual and communal, and skills in synthesising and developing ideas and arguments from diverse literary and other contemporary sources. By studying Anthropology and Spanish, students can also analyse a wide variety of literary, political, social, cultural and linguistic aspects of Spanish-speaking countries across the globe.
Students can start to learn Spanish as beginners if they do not have an A level in Spanish. All students follow core modules in Spanish language that enable them to develop skills in written and spoken Spanish and translation from Spanish to English. Alongside the core language modules student study students are introduced to the literatures, histories, cultures and language of the Spanish-speaking world. We are proud to offer students the opportunity to learn more about Spain and Latin America and to study different periods from early modern (Golden Age) Spain and colonial Latin America to twentieth-first century Spain and contemporary Latin America.
The degree takes four years to complete (which includes the study abroad year in a Spanish speaking country, during which students can complete anthropological fieldwork).
