This joint degree enables you to acquire an in-depth knowledge of Spanish language and Hispanic culture while developing your ability as an analyst of international economic phenomena. 50% of your degree will be in Economics and 50% in the School of Modern Languages. Warwick offers an innovative approach to Hispanic Studies, combining the study of the Spanish language with the study of the diverse range of Hispanic cultures across Europe, the Caribbean, the Americas, and event aspects of Hispanic history in Africa and the Pacific. Particular strengths include a focus on studying the transnational networks of cultural history, memory, literature and identity that crisscross the Hispanic world.
In Economics, you will study the choices of consumers, corporations, governments, networks and nations, developing a deep knowledge of global and local economic trends, institutions and policies.
