When you study Spanish at UWA, you'll immerse yourself in the vibrant Spanish way of life. Our beginners' major consists of eight units that introduce cultural and intellectual elements, covering Spanish cities and regions, food and folklore, cultural aspects, and literature. You'll also develop functional language skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking. From classic and contemporary Spanish literature to must-watch films, current series, and significant cultural movements in Spain today, you'll enjoy a holistic and engaging cultural and educational experience.

Students who have already taken official Spanish courses in high school or at other universities can enrol directly in Spanish Studies 3 (SPAN1403). Students who are native speakers of Spanish will not be granted access to any of these units as we don't currently offer an advanced stream.

• Expand your skills - Taking a second major either in a complementary area or in something like Economics or Business Law will show you have developed skills such as, teamwork, critical thinking, digital literacy and presentation skills – which are highly sought after in the workforce.
• Add it to your resume – Employers are looking for graduates who have skills in a variety of areas. Two majors will expand your career prospects and help you stand out amongst the crowd.
• Study your passion alongside your interests – Do you love Marketing? Law? History of Art? Pursue a career while studying something else you love! Your second major can be from any other school across the university.
• No additional time – Choosing two majors instead of one won’t add any additional time to your undergraduate degree. A standard bachelor degree consists of the same amount of units either way.
• Discover what you want to do while you’re doing it – Not sure what career you want when you graduate? It’s very common for undergraduate students to be unsure. Choosing two majors in different areas will give you the opportunity to explore multiple interests and see what fits best. Majors can be switched until the end of your first year without adding any time onto your degree.
