You will be able to choose from a broad range of course options that reflect and explore the rich cultural heritage of Spain and Latin America, including literature from the Golden Age to the present day, history, film and translation.

Spanish at St Andrews caters both for students who are beginners and for those who have already studied Spanish as a main subject at school.
