Optional Course (Beginner, Intermediate and Advaned) of Spanish Language (free of charge)

About the course

The course will be held through the Faculty of Engineering in Foreign Languages and it will be delivered by experimented teachers in the study of the Spanish language, applying interactive methods, with a predominant focus on the communication skills of the Spanish language.

In the academic year 2023-2024, UPB organizes three courses, one for beginners (who have never studied Spanish before), one for intermediate students (limited to the students who have graduated the beginner course or students who have already reached the A1 or A2 language level) and one for advanced students (limited to the students who have graduated the intermediate course).

The course materials will be provided by the university.

At the end of the course, students will receive a graduation diploma from UPB. Afterwards, they can apply for the international exam of DELE.

Learning Spanish is a great way to open a whole variety of exciting job opportunities for engineers of all nationalities. More than ever, companies include diverse working environments where Spanish-speaking employees represent important assets, both for the expansion of the cultural diversity of the company and for the organisation’s ability to tackle more diverse markets. Through learning Spanish, young engineers and graduates are able to join teams in the most varied fields, like business development, marketing, healthcare, science, information technology and engineering.

In this course you will:

  • learn about language in general;
  • learn basic Spanish vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure, and new words to use in conversation;
  • practice writing and speaking everyday phrases and get an introduction to Spain and Latin America culture.
