As a general rule, it is recommended that students have a minimum language level of B1 on the language of instruction of the courses. However, some faculties have specific language requirements: •  Faculty of Economics and Business: Minimum level of B2 of the language of instruction of the courses selected by the student. List of valid certificates available here. •  Faculty of Political Science and Sociology: Minimum level of B2 of the language of instruction of the courses selected by the student .

Keep in mind that the faculty’s offer of courses in English is 2 subjects per semester and the demand to follow these courses is bigger than the room available, so all students should be able to take courses in Spanish too.
