language skills

You will acquire...

The 240 ECTS credits of the Bachelor’s degree programme are divided among core, compulsory and elective subjects, internships and the Undergraduate Final Year Project. You will combine subjects in English, Spanish, Basque and a fourth language (German, French, Chinese, Arabic or Galician). In addition to classes in each language, you can choose subjects taught in English, Spanish and Basque. You will find the language of instruction for each subject in the course syllabus.

Level required to access the degree

Spanish and Basque: B2
English language: B1

Level attained at the end of studies

Spanish, Basque and English: C1-C2

The final level of the fourth language (German, French, Chinese, Arabic or Galician) will depend on the language chosen and will be between A2 and B1.

If you study at least 40% of the credits in English and can prove that you have a C1 level, the University of Deusto will certify your language proficiency in this language.

Exemption from the Basque language

Students from outside the Basque Autonomous Community, or those who for justified reasons request it, will have their Basque Language credits replaced by the same number of credits in a General Introduction to that language and culture.
