Program overview
Spanish language programs at Chinese universities focus on foundational skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing, translation), Spanish and Latin American literature, culture, history, and practical courses like Business Spanish. Core courses include Basic Spanish, Advanced Spanish, Spanish Audiovisual & Speaking, Translation Theory & Practice, and Overview of Latin American Countries. A distinctive feature of Chinese universities is the emphasis on business and trade, with many offering courses in Business Spanish and Cross-border E-commerce Spanish to prepare students for real-world work. This major suits those with a sensitivity to language, a passion for cross-cultural communication, and a willingness to invest time in polishing speaking and listening skills. If you're interested in Latin American culture, football, cuisine, or Spanish art, you'll find extra motivation. Spanish programs in Chinese universities generally have strong faculty, with many professors holding overseas study or work experience, and often provide exchange opportunities in Latin America or Spain.
