Year Abroad – International Year

Overview

All students taking Spanish to degree level will have the opportunity to study for one year at either a Spanish or Latin American University.

The BA International is a four-year programme. Admission to this programme is in second year of the BA Omnibus. All students who wish to take Spanish to degree level must take this option. This means that students will do the third year of their academic programme at a Spanish-speaking university where they will be expected to study for and pass exams in both Spanish and their second subject area.

Students who choose to go to Spain will partake in the EU-funded ERASMUS programme. For further information on ERASMUS, click here.
