Languages

The Universidad Europea del Atlántico (European University of the Atlantic), in its clear commitment to the teaching and learning of languages, offers its official degrees students the possibility of extending their training in foreign languages beyond the requirements of their curriculum, and thus achieve a level of specialization that allows them to opt for new and more qualified international work environments.

Students, while taking the courses required to complete their degree, can optionally and voluntarily select courses to initiate, develop, or perfect their level in French, German, or English. The following courses and levels are offered for this purpose:

COURSES AND LEVELS:

  • English (from level B1 to C2)
  • German (from level A1 to C1)
  • French (from level A1 to C1)

ORGANIZATION AND METHODOLOGY

The courses are organized in four-month periods and comprise four hours of class per week. The groups are small and the classes are based on methodologies that allow the implementation of what has been learned from the first day:

  • Follow a communicative and interactive methodology.
  • Adapt to the learning needs of students.
  • Are multicultural.
  • Have an expert teaching staff in foreign language didactics.
  • Are aligned with the CEFR.
  • Work in a dynamic and integrated manner on content, competencies, and language skills.

In addition, in order to facilitate student learning and reinforce those areas of greatest difficulty, the University also offers the Language Support Service (SAPLI). This is a service designed and run by students of the university to offer activities aimed at practicing foreign languages, such as, for example, the organization of weekly language exchange tandems.

CERTIFICATION

At the end of the course, the student receives an accreditation certificate from the University with the level obtained, and the extra training received is also reflected in their final grade certificate as well as in the European Diploma Supplement that students receive after paying the corresponding fees.
