Economics with a European language - Spanish (BSc Econ)

The degree in Economics with Spanish is designed to combine the main elements of an Economics degree with Spanish. The first year provides the core modules which are the foundations for the rest of the degree, together with one module in Spanish. In the second year, equal attention is given to the study of economics and the enhancement of language skills. The language modules taken during the second year provide the ideal preparation for the third year, which is spent abroad.

While attending University in Spain, students will be taught and examined in Spanish.

The degree of Economics with Spanish prepares students for a career in, or further study of, Economics, combined with the ability to work in Spanish.

The Trading Room is used as part of the BSc Economics and Finance programme but is open to all students, supervised by trained PhD students who will help students to become familiar with the new software.

Students are offered the opportunity to undertake the Thomson Reuters Certification qualification, an industry qualification to prove their ability in using the platform to access all the information that they need. This five-module training process involves one-to-one training and phone conferences with a Reuters representative. The Trading Room gives students the opportunity to become attractive potential graduates in the City, where the job market is becoming ever more competitive.

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.
