SECTION 1 – THE MAYNOOTH BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE


Why choose this subject?


> Maynooth University’s dynamic Department of Spanish gives students a thorough grounding in the language while introducing them to Spanish as a world language and cornerstone of many vibrant cultures.


> Spanish is offered in a friendly, supportive environment at both beginner and non-beginner (post-Leaving Certificate, or equivalent) levels in first year.


> Students are expected to spend the third year of their BA studying in a University in Spain or Latin America, including the world-renowned Universities of Salamanca and Guadalajara, Mexico. This is a unique opportunity and a “life changing” experience, as a recent article in the Spanish newspaper El Pais (21st May 2017) cites it. You also have the opportunity to work as a Teaching Assistant in Spain (subject to availability), which is a great asset to have on your CV.


Students interested in teaching Spanish should note that the Teaching Council of Ireland require all registered teachers of Spanish to have spent a minimum of two months living in a Spanish-speaking country. The Maynooth University School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures advise at least a three-month residency.


Options after graduation?


> A degree in Spanish offers students enhanced employability in a wide range of careers - diplomatic service, development work with NGOs, education, publishing, working with EU and global institutions, translation and interpretation, international trade, communications and tourism.


> Multinational companies such as Google and Intel, many of whom have bases in Ireland, continually note the importance of finding graduates who are not only fluent in languages but who have the intercultural competence to deal with colleagues and customers in an increasingly globalised world.


> We currently offer postgraduate courses including: MA Spanish and Latin American Studies / MA Modern Languages, Literature and Culture: Narratives of Conflict – Spanish and we are pleased to see our students carrying on to doctoral level. We have an excellent team of specialists in Spanish and Latin-American cultures, Linguistics and Translation.
