Overview
Spanish
The programme is designed to provide you with a deep knowledge of the language, literature and culture of Spain and Latin America.
We are unique in Scotland in offering students a full academic year abroad within the four-year honours programme, regardless of whether you spend the year studying or working.
Philosophy
Philosophy aims to explore and analyse how philosophers past and present have understood the world, and the arts of:
argument
critical enquiry
reasoning
clarity of expression
Career opportunities
Spanish is the fourth most widely spoken language in the world and your gateway to a great many countries and cultures in Europe and Latin America.
Spanish and Philosophy graduates at The University of Edinburgh have the intellectual strength and flexibility that so many employers prize in high-level humanities graduates.
There is increasing value attached to the excellent communication skills that come with language learning, and the intercultural and critical awareness provided by international experiences such as the year abroad.
Some of our graduates choose career paths in translation, interpreting, teaching or business, both at home and abroad.
Others go on to work within the public or third sector, including for international charities or institutions of the European Union (Spanish is an official working language of the EU), or move into the creative industries, heritage, tourism and travel.
There are also opportunities to continue studying, with Year 4 in particular developing the research skills you will need if you choose this path.
