Spanish Studies at the University of Wollongong is closely linked with the study of the Spanish language and Spanish-speaking countries’ cultures. Students have the opportunity to experience them first-hand through either a period of study abroad in Spain or in a Latin-American country, or by working as an English-language assistant in a Spanish school.
An ability to speak Spanish along with English and any other international language is an asset on the international job market. This is why our program is flexible and places a great importance on the development of graduate qualities vital for future employment opportunities.
Students can tailor their studies to meet their needs and interests by studying Spanish as a major or as a minor program. Students can also combine Spanish studies with that of another language, or a number of other disciplines across the university. This enables students to maintain a balance of choice across their degree programme.
You can begin your study of the Spanish Language from scratch or from the intermediate level. All students are expected to become proficient in all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) by the end of their studies.
You can study Spanish concurrently with your bachelor's degree by enrolling in the Diploma in Languages. If you already have a degree you can also enrol in this award.
