Accounting with Spanish

Accounting with Spanish brings together two areas of genuine practical value. Accounting provides the technical foundation for understanding how organisations manage their finances, and the professional skills that are sought after across virtually every sector of the economy. Spanish adds a second dimension entirely: access to a language spoken by more than 500 million people across four continents, and to the rich and diverse cultures of Spain and Latin America.

The combination is not just distinctive on a CV; it equips you to work in international business environments with both financial expertise and real communicative reach.

At Queen's University Belfast, this four-year programme teaches you the technical application of accounting, covering financial reporting, management accounting, auditing, and related disciplines, while simultaneously developing your Spanish language skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Language modules taught by the School of Arts, English and Languages also provide broad cultural, historical, and societal insights into the Spanish-speaking world. A central feature of the degree is the placement year, which students complete in a region where Spanish is the dominant language, giving you the chance to immerse yourself linguistically and professionally in an international environment.

The typical entry tariff is 152 UCAS points.

Graduates of this programme are well placed for careers in multinational accountancy and financial services firms with operations in Spanish-speaking markets, as well as in trade, banking, and business development roles that require both financial literacy and language competence. Many graduates pursue professional accountancy qualifications after graduation, and the combination of technical training and language skills accelerates progression in international contexts. Teaching, public sector finance, and roles in international organisations are also open to graduates of this degree.
