Catalan Studies

Catalan language and literature have been taught in the Department of Hispanic Studies at Sheffield since the 1950s. The subject is fully integrated in the Department's course structures which cover all the main areas of Hispanic Studies.

Strong Catalan links at home and abroad

Traditional links with the Universitat Autònoma in Barcelona are complemented by cooperation and exchange arrangements with Valencia and the Universitat de les Balears, Mallorca.

Catalan-speaking students from these institutions attend courses at Sheffield, and there is the opportunity to study at one of these Universities during Year 3 (the Year Abroad) of the degree course.

We also have:

Specialising in Catalan Studies

Catalan can be studied at all undergraduate levels (and may be taken at Beginners' level in either the first or the second year of the course), and classes incorporate culture as well as spoken and written language. Additionally we offer an MA in Catalan Studies, as well as MPhil/PhD. A Dissertation in Catalan is available in the final year of study.

Catalan as part of another degree

Catalan can be studied as part of a Sheffield degree in Hispanic Studies, Modern Languages, or as an additional subject for Single Honours students of other Modern Languages (via free credits). We also occasionally have students from other faculties who study Catalan in preparation for a period of residence abroad, usually in Barcelona.
