What you will study

In contrast to the school subject Spanish, the academic study of language, literature and culture has a great weight in the study (about 50% of the training). Practical language skills are taught in separate courses (grammar, vocabulary, phonetics, translation, etc.). Compared to the bachelor’s degree program, there is a reduced scientific training, a more in-depth practical language training as well as subject didactic and educational science study components.
