Overview

Sociology and Spanish & Latin American Studies is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Iberian Studies lets you specialise in a period, an author or a region in the later stages.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £20,800 to £24,800 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Send us your transcript and English result and we will list the departments that would consider you, with the entry condition on each.

  • Localisation specialist
  • International account or project manager
  • Language teacher
  • Policy or research officer
