Many of the basic concepts underlying Western society found expression for the first time in ancient Greek or Latin. Together with Spanish, they are the language of many highly influential literary and cultural works. Studying Spanish and Classics helps us understand the world in which we live now, as well as shedding light on the past.On our programme, you have the opportunity to develop advanced spoken and written language skills while gaining the broad cultural education prized by graduate employers.We are unique in Scotland in offering students a full academic year abroad within the four-year honours programme, regardless of whether you spend the year studying or working.Another attractive characteristic of this programme is its flexibility. This means that in Years 1 and 2, you will choose option courses drawn from a broad list of disciplines in addition to your core subjects. You can, for example, opt to study Portuguese, Basque or Catalan in Year 2.
