History and Spanish (with a year abroad) - BA (Hons)

University of York

Delve into studies of the past, exploring Spanish languages and cultures as you go. Spend a year abroad and discover new ways of viewing the world.At York, we have a unique approach to studying languages. From the start, you'll be taught and assessed in Spanish by expert staff, many of whom are native-speakers, so you'll develop your fluency and communication skills rapidly. Our transcultural and decolonised approach to language learning allows for deeper reflection on the values, attitudes, and practices of different cultures. You'll join two departments which are highly respected for their research, scholarship and teaching. Combining Spanish studies with History will allow you to uncover the forces that have shaped modern societies and cultures, as well as the issues prevalent today in Spanish-speaking countries. You'll graduate with an exciting perspective of history and your place in the world. Spending a year abroad will give you confidence in your speaking, and allow you to have valuable first hand experiences of transcultural encounters.
