Hispanic Studies
¡Bienvenidos! --- Welcome!
Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world – outside Spain it is the official language of most countries in South and Central America, and is widespread in many parts of North America. The programme at Kent gives you the opportunity to explore the languages and cultures of Spain and Spanish America while developing your language skills. You can study Hispanic Studies at Kent whether you have got an A level or GCSE in Spanish, or whether you are a beginner. You can study either full-time or part-time
The programme offers some unusual features. You get the opportunity to spend your year abroad at university in Montevideo (Uruguay) and in Lima (Peru), as well as our exchange programmes with Spain. Our advanced language module in Stage 3 focuses on translation and interpreting – skills when you look for a job. We also offer the chance to learn Catalan language and culture and Portuguese. Our facilities include a wide range of TV satellite channels and audio, video and computer-assisted language learning facilities.
