Digital Media & Information Studies/ Spanish

Digital media and information studies, combined with Spanish, produces a graduate equipped for a world in which the ability to navigate digital information and communicate across linguistic and cultural boundaries are both increasingly valuable. Digital media and information studies examines the creation, circulation, and impact of digital content and information across the arts, humanities, and society, asking how digital technologies are changing communication, knowledge, culture, and power. Spanish opens access to the cultures, literatures, and contemporary realities of Spain and Latin America, one of the world's most significant language zones.

At Glasgow the digital media and information studies strand brings a humanistic perspective to the digital age, exploring issues of access, representation, curation, misinformation, platform power, and the human consequences of digital transformation. You will develop practical skills in working with digital tools and data alongside critical frameworks for understanding how digital information shapes what people know and believe. Spanish study will take you to high-level language proficiency alongside engagement with Hispanic literature, culture, history, and contemporary affairs.

The five-year full-time programme reflects the depth of both subjects and allows time for the language to develop to the level that a humanities degree in Spanish demands.

Graduates go on to careers in digital communications, journalism, media organisations, libraries and archives, international relations, technology policy, teaching, and roles in business and government where Spanish-speaking markets and communities are relevant. The combination of digital literacy and language skills is genuinely distinctive and is valued in a media landscape that is both increasingly global and increasingly digital. Postgraduate study in digital humanities, media studies, information science, or Hispanic studies is also an option.
