Study Option
In terms of socioeconomic, cultural, and geopolitical perspectives, the Spanish-speaking countries are highly relevant. If you are a student in a programme focused on for instance economy, law, engineering, music, dance, culture, social science, or the humanities, our courses can be a valuable addition to your course of study and enhance your competence. You can boost your CV and apply for exchange studies through Erasmus in order to be able to work in various international contexts and organisations later.
