Spanish

There are a total of four separate Economic Spanish courses (A-B-C-D) within the scope of the Economic Spanish credit-point courses.  Only one course (A or B or C or D) is offered on a rotating basis each semester.

The target of this course corresponds to level C1.1 according to the Common European Reference Framework on Languages (CEFR).

  • Bachelor students in their study year of consolidation and specialization (s. PO §9 paragraph 5).
  • Online enrolment for the chosen course and the qualifying test during the stipulated enrolment time (30.09.2024, 9am until 10.10.2024, 12pm). Enrolment is on a ‘first come first served’ basis. After the online enrolment for Spanish for Economists Credit-Point Courses has ended, a later e-mail enrolment is only possible for students of our Faculty who have in the past already successfully completed one of our Spanish for Economists Credit-Point Courses, and, of course, if there are any vacant places available on these courses.
  • A pass in the Bachelor Qualifying Test which takes place at the beginning of each semester, or a pass grade in the final examinations of a previous Bachelor Credit-Point Course in Spanish for Economists.
