Hispanic Studies with Business Management

Hispanic studies with business management is a programme that combines advanced learning in Spanish language and the cultures, literatures and histories of the Spanish-speaking world with a grounding in business and management principles. Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world by native speakers, and the commercial, cultural and diplomatic importance of Spain and Latin America makes linguistic and cultural competence in Hispanic studies a genuine professional asset across business, law, international affairs and many other fields. No prior knowledge of Spanish is required at entry, making this an accessible route into a combination of considerable professional value.

At Queen Mary University of London you will study Hispanic studies as the major element of the degree alongside business management as the minor element, developing language proficiency alongside engagement with Hispanic literature, film, history and contemporary culture, while building a foundation in the key functions of business including strategy, marketing, finance and organisational management. The programme runs full time over four years, reflecting the depth of language study required to reach a high level of proficiency.

You will develop advanced Spanish language skills alongside cultural knowledge of Spain, Latin America and the global Spanish-speaking world, combined with business awareness and commercial understanding. The combination is particularly relevant to careers in international business with a Spanish-speaking dimension, where language fluency and cultural sensitivity add direct value.

Graduates from Hispanic studies with business management programmes pursue careers in international business, marketing and communications, management consultancy, trade, financial services with Latin American or Spanish connections, the civil service, international development and cultural organisations. Postgraduate study in Hispanic studies, international business, translation or management is also a natural route for those seeking specialist expertise.
