With this European Studies (Spanish Pathway) BA, you’ll learn about the politics and history of Spain while developing the language skills to really understand the nuance of this subject. You’ll spend a year studying abroad, where you’ll be taught and assessed in Spanish, and graduate as a Spanish speaker and an expert in European Studies. 

If you choose the Spanish pathway, you could study at the Autonomous University of Madrid, a public research university located in northern Madrid, Spain.

I knew I wanted to study in central London, because of the cultural, political and international hub the city is. King’s is one of London’s best universities. I remember visiting various universities in my final year of high school, and King’s left me with the best impression by far.
