Course contents The basic aim of the Bachelor’s Degree in Hispanic Studies is to train professionals with a high level of aptitude in expression and understanding of the Spanish language, and sufficient knowledge of a foreign language, as well as an overall knowledge of the linguistic, historical, cultural and literary milieu in the Spanish-speaking countries. In specific terms, future graduates must have descriptive and analytical skills that enable them to engage in an in-depth synchronic and diachronic study of the Spanish language, in the interpretation of literary texts, in teaching the Spanish language, and in editing of texts and other work related to knowledge of the Spanish-speaking countries. The educational content focuses on the acquisition of Spanish and a foreign language in textual and contextual analysis methods; on studying the history of the Spanish language and its literature; on the description and analysis of the phonological, lexical, morphological and syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic-discursive levels of the Spanish language; and on an understanding of the social, historical, political and philosophical contexts related to the Hispanic world, from a perspective based on democratic values, gender equality and the culture of peace.
