Spanish

Course summary

An increasing global world makes Spanish a useful, relevant and hugely rewarding subject to study. Spanish is the second most spoken language by native speakers in the world, with more than 400 million Spanish speakers in 21 countries. The same element that makes Spanish such a culturally rich language -- the fact that it is spoken in so many countries -- is also the key to its potential in the world of work. While Spain is still the UK’s eighth-largest goods export market, valued at £8.5 billion in 2012, the real scope for growth can be seen in the emerging countries of Latin America.
