What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
- Identify key historical events of this period. - Reflect critically on the complexity of the cultural exchanges that took place among the Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities during this period and on the legacy of al-Andalus in modern Spain.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Suitable if you have an advanced level of Spanish (if you have completed at least 5 years of Spanish).
