Student review [#24652] for International Relations
at University of Leeds

I am a joint honours student and I have studied the Spanish language and culture from a beginner’s level as part of my degree. Overall, my course has been great and I have no regrets about choosing it, although it has been difficult learning a language at such a rapid pace especially through the pandemic when we had lessons via Zoom for over a year. However, I can appreciate that the teachers tried hard to provide good lessons and they did succeed as my Spanish level has definitely improved. But one thing that I didn’t expect was for my course to be so structured, for example in my first year I had no optional modules available to me and so I wish that I was given more flexibility. However, I understand that there is a lot of content I needed to know and because my university offers such good courses which are truly engaging, I didn’t find this too much of a problem.
