Intensive A1 Catalan courses: September 2023

Intensive A1 Catalan courses: September 2023A1 (Basic 1)

As part of the UB's Catalan language and cultural reception programme, the Language Services organizes intensive Catalan courses for beginners for students from outside Catalonia who are planning to do a placement or course of study at the University of Barcelona during the academic year 2023-2024.

These 30-hour courses cost 25 euros each for UB students and can be validated for academic credits (ECTS credits). Each course includes two cultural activities:

  • A gastronomic activity.
  • An activity related to a Catalan festivity or tradition.

Registration opens on 9 June 2023 and you can register online by going to the link next to the course you want or in person by visiting us at the Language Services office.

Information: sl.catala.inicial@ub.edu.

  • We reserve the right to cancel a course if the number of enrolments fails to reach the minimum number required to run a class. (Note that if we do cancel your course for this reason, you will be reimbursed.)

  • You need to pay the course fees at least one week before the course starts.
  • If for any reason you can't do the course, write to sl.catala.inicial@ub.edu and tell them, as soon as you can. That way, someone else can have your place!
  • Once you have enrolled, you may not change groups without the express authorization of the course secretary.
  • In order to obtain all the ECTS credits available for doing a course, you need to attend 80% of the classes and pass the final examination.
