Expand your horizons and gain an appreciation of the languages, literatures, and cultures of the Romance world through our honours program in Romance Studies at UBC Vancouver.

Romania is the area where Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, etc.) and cultures were born and first expanded. Romance Studies offers an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective of the various languages, literatures and cultures of the Romance world (including Europe, North and South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia), allowing for the exchange and breaking down of barriers between these areas of scholarship. Students in this program have the opportunity to study more than one of the department’s languages.
