Learning & teaching

Spanish

We focus on the four important language skills:

We make great use of technology in the classroom – interactive lectures and digital language laboratories – and outside, through the use of web-based learning and streamed Spanish television.

In later years, you'll perform presentations, write reports and interpret into English, which prepares you for potential future careers.

Marketing

Teaching is given over two semesters in blocks of 12 weeks each. Methods include lectures, tutorials and seminars. As a student you will take part in team-based projects and make use of online teaching materials. Our industrial partners regularly assist in teaching and the assessment of student presentations.
