Here's what University College London says about its Romanian and Spanish course.
The four-year BA Romanian and Spanish is a joint honours programme split equally between your two languages. You will take modules not only in language (speaking, listening, reading, writing and translation) but also in cultural topics including literature, history, film, linguistics, politics and other relevant field designed to complement your language learning. With a wide variety of modules on offer, you will be able to tailor your modern languages degree to your areas of interest. You will spend a Year Abroad in the third year, split between two countries where your languages are spoken. Romanian is a Romance language spoken not only in Romania, but also in Hungary, the Republic of Moldova and parts of the former Yugoslavia. SSEES (UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies) is one of the only UK departments that offers the opportunity to learn Romanian and through small class sizes, you will develop excellent language skills and knowledge of Romanian literature, history and culture, preparing you for a wide variety of careers.
Studying Spanish at UCL as part of the Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Department combines the study of Spanish language and its varieties, with modules in the literature, film, history and cultures of Spain and Latin America, from the early modern period to the present day. For the Year Abroad we have links with leading universities in Spain and Latin America.
UCL Is ranked 3rd in the UK for Modern Languages in the 2018 QS World Rankings and offers outstanding opportunities to language students and graduates.

It has a good balance of academics and extra-curriculars, which I personally value a lot in an educational institution.

The SU has a range of activities and societies for students to get involved in. But they are not very close to students in general.

There are a lot of uni societies and London is a great city. The diversity in the uni is also amazing.

The price of the course is overrated, especially as an international student. It was weird to not have any classes or support in term 3, especially for my course as we do not have exams for most of the modules. But we still had to pay for it, which was unreasonable.

The welfare services are helpful. But the academic support is not great, as the tutors tend to be very fixed with their assigned time and the help that I was given did not help me to engage in academics in a stimulating way.

Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
