  • Objectives
    The BA in Music and Hispanic Studies is a Dual Honours four-year course, which allows you to combine the study of two subjects. Music: An extensive range of modules in level one allows you to define your own modular programme through levels two and three. You may wish to specialise at level three in composition, dissertation or performance. A personal tutor will work with you over three years to help you make the most of your studies and encourage you to excel. Lectures, seminars and group tutorials are reinforced by individual supervision or feedback. Most of the degree is assessed through projects, performances and coursework, giving you a chance to develop your own skills and interests in an independent and creative manner. The Performance module at level one is assessed by a short recital; the level three Instrumental or Vocal Recital is given in public. While following a recital track you are given tuition on your principal instrument. Hispanic Studies: About a third of teaching time is devoted to developing your written and oral fluency in Spanish, supported by language laboratory, video and satellite TV facilities and regular classes with native-speakers. Level one provides a grounding in the language, culture, history and society of Spain and Latin America. Suitably qualified students can also take Portuguese or Catalan. Levels two and three allow you to plan your work to suit your particular interests, offering a broad coverage of Spanish and Latin American culture, history and society. Level Three also includes practically-based modules on Interpreting, Translating, and Teaching. We offer a large number of year abroad options in Spain and Latin America, and are flexible in making arrangements to suit your interests.
