Overview
Spanish Studies MA sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 1 year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.
Teaching in Spanish Studies develops analytical writing alongside the subject knowledge itself. We currently work with 40 universities on this course across 26 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £16.000 to £34.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
