The minor program in "Spanish Studies" aims to provide students with both a theoretical and practical introduction to the basic linguistic, literary and cultural principles of Spanish. 

The program will focus above all on learning the language, but also includes an introduction to the history of Spanish literature and culture. Once the course is completed, students will primarily have acquired a passive and active oral and written command of Spanish.

Students of modern languages and literature (general option) as well as students of French and Romance languages and literature who have taken this minor course will, provided they meet some extra entry requirements, be able to continue studying the Spanish language and culture as part of the Masters electives. Moreover, as part of the agrégation, students of Romance languages may, in addition to their didactical training in their basic discipline, take didactical courses in Spanish language and literature which will give them the possibility of teaching Spanish at a later stage.
