BA Italian and Spanish

Course Overview

Our Italian and Spanish BA is designed for students who have studied either Spanish or Italian to A-level and want to study both of those languages at degree level. You'll build your linguistic skills while developing your understanding of the social, political, and cultural forces that have shaped contemporary Spain, Latin America, and Italy. This course allows you to take one of the languages from the beginner level if you wish to. You will divide your time equally between both Italian and Spanish and by the end of the course, you will reach an equivalent standard of knowledge and ability in both languages. Leicester is one of the top ten places in the UK to study Modern Languages (The Guardian University Guide 2020) and we rank high for student satisfaction in the annual National Student Survey.

General Eligibility
