Form 6 students of Spanish attended an online taster course hosted by Sheffield University this week, giving them an insight into studying the language at degree level.
Oakham’s aspiring Hispanists were given the opportunity to experience a lecture on ‘The Role of Proselytism in the Spanish colonisation of Peru’ by Fabian Horrocks, followed by a ‘Question and Answer’ session with the Admissions Tutor and current undergraduates.
Head of Spanish Cameron Pauls said, “This was a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to gain an insight into what studying a language at degree level entails. We encourage pupils to continue to develop their language skills after School, and this event was ideal for helping them find what options were available.”
Oakham’s Spanish Department offers a rich and varied programme, providing a valuable educational, social and cultural experience.
