This is an advanced Spanish language module designed for finalists, consolidating level C1 and exploring level C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). In the Grammar and Communicative Skills classes, you will consolidate your skills acquired in your Year Abroad. You will also improve your language proficiency by carrying out tasks at C2 level (the highest of CEFR levels). Therefore, you will be exposed and will have to use increasingly sophisticated language in a wider variety of contexts and registers. Different varieties of Spanish will be explored. The Translation classes will consolidate your translation competences already acquired in the previous years in both from language directions. You will be encouraged to make connections with your experience in the Year Abroad and broaden your knowledge of Hispanic culture(s).

CoS provides an advanced introduction to contemporary concepts of security, organised around three distinct logics of security (war, threat and risk). These concepts cut across different IR theories, and also shape public discourse on securty and the formulation of security policies.
	CoS seeks to explore the relationship between the practice and theory of security. This is not only to increase your awareness of the indispensable role of theory in the evaluation of security problems and strategies, but also to signal that security practitioners routinely deploy concepts of security in official documents, policy statements, and routine bureaucratic procedures. The course will highlight the conceptual, epistemological and methodological issues at stake in the analysis of security policies.
	By the end of the course you will be better equipped to understand and analyse various points of view – and especially your own point of view – regarding any security issue.
	The combination of lectures, tutorials, and online activities aims to increase your theoretical understanding and analytical skills, enabling you to formulate conceptually precise and empirically informed analyses.
