Learners are advised to enhance their Spanish or Portuguese coursework by exploring interdisciplinary subjects such as art history, anthropology, sociology, comparative literature, and other humanities fields. Beyond forming the foundation of a liberal arts education, specializing in Spanish or Portuguese prepares students for advanced academic pursuits or professional training. Through intimate class settings and seminars that foster close faculty-student engagement, graduates develop versatile skills applicable to diverse career paths including media, commerce, legal professions, public service, and global relations.
Academic record is evaluated within the context of your educational system and school curriculum. Your academic record should include any available internal grades from classes, achieved marks from external exams (for example: (I)GCSE, British A-Level, International Baccalaureate, national leaving exams such as Std X/Std XII in India), or a combination of both.
If English is not your native language and you are attending a school where English is not the language of instruction, you must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System Academic (IELTS Academic) or the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic). You are not required to take the TOEFL, IELTS or PTE Academic if English is your native language or if you have spent at least three years at a secondary school where English is the primary language of instruction.
