Spanish serves as the official language in 20 countries and is widely spoken in additional territories, including the United States, providing a vital gateway to diverse cultures across Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond. Studying Spanish alongside History of Art equips students to comprehend contemporary issues and historical contexts, fostering skills in discussing and writing about Spanish-speaking nations' visual and material cultures. For beginners, the Spanish 1A course is available, while more experienced learners take Spanish 1B, with intensive training—including a year abroad—developing advanced language proficiency, cultural awareness, and the ability to navigate various dialects and registers.History of Art complements this by exploring global art from different eras and societies, examining creation, purpose, and interpretation. At Edinburgh, a world-leading festival city with resources like the National Library and Galleries of Scotland, students benefit from flexible programs that include optional courses in early years, specialization later, and a full academic year abroad. Graduates emerge with a blend of broad cultural knowledge and specialized expertise, highly valued by employers worldwide.
