With interactive language learning in Spanish, Portuguese and Catalan and a diverse range of units covering history, literature and cinema, Bristol’s Hispanic Studies degree will give you a global perspective on the cultures of hundreds of millions of people.
You can combine the study of Spanish with Portuguese, which can be studied from beginners’ level, and Catalan from year two. You will divide your third year between a Portuguese-speaking country and Catalonia (for Spanish and Catalan).
Our degree builds on many aspects of the history, literature and culture of Portugal, Spain and Latin America. Literary and cultural units enable you to improve your language skills through reading modern representative texts and viewing films, while giving you a taste of the cultural diversity of the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world.

If you are new to Portuguese you will follow an intensive language course during your first year. There is separate provision for those with Portuguese A-level or equivalent. You will also follow introductory units on literature, culture and history. In both your second and final years, you will normally choose two Portuguese cultural units over the year, in addition to options in another language.
At all levels you will study the culture of Portuguese-speaking countries and you can choose from a wide range of optional units offered by the School of Modern Languages.
