Spanish Studies and Mathematics BA (Hons)

Lancaster’s joint Spanish Studies and Mathematics degree is taught by the Department of Languages and Cultures in conjunction with the Mathematics and Statistics Department.<br/><br/>Your Spanish Studies programme gives you the opportunity to acquire high-level language skills while gaining a thorough understanding of the Spanish-speaking world in a global context. In Maths, you’ll study in-depth mathematical theory and practice and have the option to specialise in pure mathematics or statistics.<br/><br/>Your first year comprises an exploration of the Spanish language and its cultural context, and core modules in Mathematics. Alongside these, you will study a minor subject of your choice.<br/><br/>Building on your language skills in Year 2, you will study the culture, politics and history of the Spanish-speaking world in more depth, as well as selecting modules which are international in scope and promote a comparative understanding of Europe and beyond. You will combine these with Mathematics modules.<br/><br/>Spending your third year abroad in a Spanish-speaking country gives you the opportunity to develop your language proficiency while deepening your intercultural sensitivity. You can study at a partner university or conduct a work placement.<br/><br/>In your final year, you consolidate your Spanish language skills, and study specialist culture and comparative modules. You will also select Mathematics modules.<br/><br/>**Beginners Languages**<br/>Studying a language from beginners level is somewhat intense in nature so we only allow students to study one language from beginners level. Please bear this in mind when looking at our first year module options. If you apply to study a degree with a language from beginners level, your optional modules will only include higher level languages and modules in other subject areas.
