This course provides a fantastic opportunity to combine Banking with the in-depth study of a language. You will acquire a solid grounding in in the principles of banking and finance and gain advanced skills in Spanish.

You will benefit from excellent teaching and student support whilst developing key skills and knowledge that you will need for your year abroad, and later on, for the world of work.  

Banking offers you the opportunity to study the theory and practice of financial services and financial markets, and to analyse the broader role of the financial sector in the national and global economies. Banking and financial services is a highly competitive and rapidly changing sector in every modern economy. In recent years, forces such as globalisation, technological change, deregulation and international integration have transformed the banking and financial services sector.

Spanish will give you advanced skills in the Spanish language, and a broad range of specialised and detailed insights into the culture, society and history that go with it. You will take core modules developing the key oral, aural and written skills each year.

You will have 3-4 hours of language classes each week plus classes in your other chosen modules. Language tuition is mainly in small groups and there are few formal lectures.

Assessment involves coursework and written and oral examinations. You will also complete a dissertation as part of your degree.

What will you study on this course?

In each taught year of this course (Years 1, 2 and 4) you will take an equal number of Banking (50%) and Language (50%) modules. Your third year will be spent abroad.
