Combine studies in Spanish and Chinese languages, literatures, histories and cultures; the unique international experience of this course will help you to stand out as a graduate. You can begin one of the languages from beginners’ level, but must offer at least one language at A level (or equivalent).
You will normally devote half your time to each subject. In addition to targeting your language skills, this course offers you a rich variety of modules in Hispanic histories and cultures while allowing you to uncover the complexities of contemporary Chinese politics, society and identities.
Your year abroad in spent in Spain and China gives you a unique opportunity to develop your language skills and enhance your understanding of Spanish and Chinese cultures.
Course Details - Modules
In year one, you will spend your time equally between Spanish and Contemporary Chinese Studies. In Spanish, in addition to a core module in the Spanish language at the appropriate level, you will be introduced to the culture and history of the Spanish-speaking world.
In Contemporary Chinese Studies you begin a structured course in Mandarin Chinese to lead you to final degree level. The course has entry points for beginners and post-A level students in Mandarin. Alongside your core language module, you will take a module introducing Chinese history, society and culture.
In year two your language studies will be consolidated to prepare you for the year abroad. You will also take modules in culture, history, politics and society from a wide choice of modules in both Spanish and Chinese Studies.
You will spend your third academic year abroad in Spain or Spanish America and China. For Spanish you have the option to undertake study at a University, do a work placement or work as an English language teaching assistant. For your Chinese placement, you will benefit from the University of Nottingham's campus in Ningbo, China, where you will spend a semester developing your language skills and gaining first-hand experience of life in China.
Your fourth year is spent back at Nottingham. You will develop your command of both languages and their use in increasingly sophisticated contexts, and study optional modules drawn from the areas of literature, history, politics, society, film and translation. You may also choose to write a dissertation.
Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award.
