Course programme
The degree in Accounting with Spanish combines the main elements of an Accounting degree with Spanish. The first year provides the essential accounting and related modules that form the basis of a degree in Accounting together with one module in Spanish.
Year two covers core elements of Accounting, but gives equal weight to the study of the language element. The study of translation and oral skills provides an ideal preparation for the third year which is spent abroad.
During their year at a University abroad, students will be taught in the language they are studying as part of their degree.
In the fourth year, when they return to Cardiff, students will concentrate on Accounting modules, while taking one module in their chosen language to retain the competency which they have acquired during the year abroad. In addition to taking the core modules, students have the opportunity to choose modules in areas where they have a particular interest, such as public sector accounting, international accounting or international business and marketing.
Overall, the Accounting with Spanish degree prepares students for careers in Accounting with the added advantages of an ability to work in Spanish, as well as in English.
The year abroadYear three consists of one year's study at a university in Spain as part of your degree. The programme of study is subject to approval by Cardiff Business School and will be equivalent to 6 double or 12 single Cardiff Business School modules (120 credits). It will consist of courses in accounting, economics, management, business etc., taught and assessed in Spanish, and will thus provide competency in the language within a framework of accounting, economics and business specialisations.
Cardiff Business School has developed links with several universities or equivalent institutions in France, Spain, Switzerland and Spain. It is intended that the size of each group from Cardiff Business School at any host institution will be two to four students. Students studying in Europe as part of their degree programme may be eligible for a grant from the Erasmus scheme, operated by the British Council.
Cardiff Business School has international partnership agreements with high ranking institutions in Europe. The School currently has bi-lateral exchange agreements with:

This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.Accounting with European Language - Spanish (BSc)
