| // Occupational fields and career opportunities | |
Subsequent non-teaching occupational fields
A good command of the Spanish language as well as knowledge of the Spanish-speaking countries and their cultures are prerequisite for many careers in the economy, especially in transnational companies or export-oriented enterprises, as well as in other branches with a strong international orientation (e.g. tourism or logistics and transport, companies specialised in international projects and event management, consulting firms serving transnational companies, etc).Furthermore, graduates can choose between a wide range of career opportunities in purely academic or academically oriented occupational areas, such as publishing and librarianship, journalism in the printed media, radio or television, the theatre and museums, in international organisations (e.g. UNESCO, GTZ, DAAD), the diplomatic service, in non-governmental organisations (NGOs), foundations, etc. Knowledge of the Spanish language and culture is also a prerequisite for many occupations in the purely academic field and other academic disciplines, such as studies in history, for instance, politics and sociology, philosophy, as well as studies in music and art. In these areas, Spanish is often the language providing direct access to historical sources or important original manuscripts. Above all, though, the BA programme Spanish/Hispanic Studies provides the basis for a future career as a teacher of the Spanish language. |

Stages of study / curricula / description of modules
The Bachelor programme Spanish/Hispanic Studies comprises sound foundation studies in the Spanish language and pertinent area studies, as well as the literature of Spanish-speaking countries, preparing students for all the aforementioned career fields. The programme focuses in particular on teaching students the following knowledge and skill-sets: - above average receptive and productive command of the Spanish language (spoken and written), including skills which enable differentiated communication on complex specialist topics - the opportunity to receive an introduction into Portuguese and Catalan - skills which enable adequate behaviour in intercultural situations within the context of the Romance world, and how to advise others · the competence to be able to become quickly acquainted with different areas of international relations · an overview of the most important areas of linguistically grounded description and analysis of Spanish and its variants, including relations to other Romance languages and the contrastive analysis to German - insights into slected areas of literature and media studies (specialisation possble in hispanophile literature and culture within the context of post-colonial studies, literature and culture theory, especially the Romance contexts, including media theory, gender issues and feminist literature studies in Romance literature) - historically and politically grounded understanding of processes and events in selected countries of the Romance-language world - competence to analyse and make critical appraisal of literary and medial texts, as well as proofreading, copy reading and editorial work involving literary and academic texts - competence in adequate specialist presentations and communication techniques and the necessary written and spoken competence in the Spanish language For students on the BA programme who intend to become teachers: foundation knowledge in intercultural learning, the didactics of Spanish and multi-lingual didactics, as well as training and practice with methodological-didactical techniques in language lessons taught in schools. Specialisations in one of these fields are possible by choosing a second subject and a corresponding element of General Studies acceptable to the field. A module "Language and Work - Foundations of Applied Linguistics" is an integrated component of studies, in which students are familiarised with concrete career perspectives, also outside of school teaching. Student majors who do not intend to go into teaching (Lehramt) must take an aditional Romance language; whereas those training to be teachers attend courses in didactics. |
