MA German with Spanish & Latin American Studies
About this course
German with Spanish and Latin American studies is a degree that gives you access to two of the world's most significant language communities, one at the heart of Europe and the other spanning an entire continent and beyond. German is the language of Europe's largest economy, a major cultural and intellectual heritage, and a practical tool for careers across European business, science, and governance. Spanish and Latin American studies extends that linguistic range to a world of hundreds of millions of speakers, one of the most dynamic economic and cultural regions on the planet, from Mexico to Argentina and from Barcelona to Buenos Aires. At Aberdeen this five-year full-time programme combines top-rated teaching in both languages with in-depth study of the history, art, and culture associated with each. You will develop your language skills through spending time in countries where both are spoken, building genuine fluency and the cultural understanding that makes languages professionally useful rather than just formally correct. The degree provides wide international career options and the kind of linguistic and analytical skills that employers in any sector find valuable. Aberdeen's commitment to languages is reflected in the quality of teaching and the breadth of cultural study available. Graduates go on to careers in international business, diplomacy, translation and interpreting, journalism, education, the cultural sector, and the civil service. The combination of German and Spanish is particularly valuable for organisations that operate across Europe and Latin America, giving you a distinctive profile in a competitive graduate market. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in German, Spanish, European studies, or Latin American studies, developing specialist expertise in areas where language and cultural knowledge are particularly sought after.
