Spanish can be studied as a major in the Bachelor of Arts (BA) or as a minor or elective in other degree programs. The BA attracts those who are interested in the big picture, finding answers to burning questions, understanding human behaviours, cultures and history, and exploring diverse areas of study.
A core focus of the BA is to equip you with broad skills that are highly valued by employers, and language is an effective communication skill for building the capacity for lifelong learning. During your degree you will explore new or existing interests from a wide range of disciplines across the university, and you can specialise in Spanish as part of a ‘major' or a ‘minor' from the Faculty.

Diploma in Languages
Studying for a humanities and social sciences degree means you can choose to study Spanish as part of your degree. Alternatively, any student enrolled in an undergraduate program at the university can elect to study Spanish through the Diploma in Languages. The Diploma in Languages will extend study for one year to fit the language sequence, and you will graduate with certificates in both your program and the Diploma in Languages. You will leave university with language expertise, communication skills and greater cultural insight.
