English at University

In the Degrees in Translation and Interpreting and in Applied Languages, students receive trilingual training: in Spanish, English and French or German. In order to access the studies, students must prove a B1 level in English. In the case of French and German, no prior knowledge is required.

The linguistic training offered in English throughout their studies allows students to achieve a master's level in this language (C2) and, in this way, be in a position to compete in the labor market on equal terms with respect to graduates of these degrees in other European countries.

For this, a study plan has been designed in which, in addition to the fact that students learn English from the first year, 50% of the compulsory subjects have this language as their vehicular language.

Likewise, in these grades, students must choose to study a second foreign language: French or German. In this case, despite starting studies without prior knowledge, the training that students receive from the first year allows them to master both oral and written skills (level C1) and take subjects taught in these languages in the second cycle.
