BA in Languages ​​and Cultures of Europe and the Rest of the World

The Courses

The undergraduate program in Languages ​​and Cultures of Europe and the rest of the world intends to train high-level graduates in two linguistic and cultural fields with a strong global character: at least one European (between English, Spanish, French and German) and a second European or non-European with a choice between Russian, Chinese and Arabic.
