Spanish Studies and Computing at Lancaster University - UCAS

Course summary

Lancaster’s joint Spanish Studies and Computing is taught by the Department of Languages and Cultures in conjunction with the School of Computing and Communications. Your Spanish Studies programme enables you to acquire high-level language skills and gain a thorough understanding of the historical, cultural, social, and political backgrounds of Hispanic countries across the world in a global context. In Computing, you’ll focus on developing professional skills, including extensive study of software and systems development. Your first year comprises an exploration of the Spanish language and its cultural context, as well as core modules in the fundamentals of computer science and software development. Alongside this, you will study a minor subject of that complements your degree.. Building on your language skills in Year 2, you will study the culture, politics and history of the Spanish-speaking world in more depth, as well as selecting modules which are international in scope and promote a comparative understanding of Europe and beyond. You will combine these with modules such as Databases, HCI, Networking and Software Design. Spending your third year abroad in a Spanish-speaking country gives you the opportunity to develop your language proficiency while deepening your intercultural sensitivity. You can study at a partner institution or conduct a work placement. In your final year, you consolidate your Spanish language skills, and study specialist culture and comparative modules, such as ‘Translation as a Cultural Practice’. You will also select Computing modules such as Internet Applications Engineering and Artificial Intelligence. Beginners Languages Studying a language from beginners level is somewhat intense in nature so we only allow students to study one language from beginners level. Please bear this in mind when looking at our first year module options. If you apply to study a degree with a language from beginners level, your optional modules will only include higher level languages and modules in other subject areas.
