YEAR/SEMESTER UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

All our international mobility students who spend a semester or year abroad at UCJC can choose from a variety of classes taught in English or Spanish (or bilingually) in the fields of Education, Health, Communications and Film, Criminology, Law, Business and Technology, Transport and Logistics and Urban Management, among others. Students will be able to take subjects which will provide them with complementary knowledge and skills to their major or main degree; these global experiences foster the acquisition of competencies more than simply learning of content.

Spanish language and culture

During their time at UCJC, international students also have the opportunity of taking Spanish language and culture classes each semester. These face-to-face sessions are combined with cultural activities, which include visits to Madrid’s Prado and Reina Sofia Museums as well as the Filmoteca Española. Students will also have the chance to visit local wineries and nearby historic cities such as Segovia and Toledo.
