Spanish and Business, MA (Hons)

Spanish serves as the official language in 20 countries and is widely spoken in additional territories, including the United States, with over 400 million native speakers and nine million second-language users, making it a valuable complement to business studies.At the University of Edinburgh, Spanish courses, marking their centenary in 2019, offer intensive language training and exploration of Spain, Latin America, and the Caribbean's cultures through literature, film, and history. Business studies equip students for contemporary challenges in organizations, fostering skills in leadership, ethics, and innovation across areas like finance, marketing, and analytics. This four-year program provides a broader alternative to International Business with Spanish, including Spanish studies throughout, optional courses in early years, and a Year 3 abroad for research on local business issues. In Year 4, students select advanced business options alongside language and culture, benefiting from Edinburgh's unique year abroad, accreditations, and flexible curriculum, preparing graduates for global opportunities.
