Language skills

You do not need any language skills for enrolment and admission.
It is recommended that you have language level A2 of the CEFR.

In order to be able to study successfully, it is important that you develop your language skills quickly after starting your studies so that you can use Spanish at level B1 without any problems. We support you in this with special practical language courses, which are taught exclusively by native speakers.

For students with a higher entry level, we offer an orientation test right at the beginning of the semester. You will then receive a recommendation for suitable courses.

What we offer you

The subject Spanish comprises the subject areas of linguistics, literature and regional/cultural studies. These subject areas are framed by practical language training, which is provided exclusively by native-speaker teachers, as well as in-depth foreign language didactics training.

With a view to a professional career in the teaching profession, students should acquire knowledge and skills that will enable them to use the Spanish language confidently in spoken and written form, to work independently on complex questions from the fields of literature, language and culture, to critically receive and develop academic findings and to communicate the knowledge and skills of the subject appropriately both orally and in writing.

The foreign language didactics offered in the Spanish teaching degree program will prepare you comprehensively for your future work as a teacher. The close cooperation with schools in the region gives you the opportunity to put theory into practice and test the knowledge gained from your studies in the classroom.

Through Erasmus cooperation with our partner universities, you will have the opportunity to study at a total of 14 universities in Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Cuba for up to 24 months.

In order to gain a broader knowledge of Romance languages, you have the opportunity - as an alternative to Latin - to demonstrate a basic knowledge of a second Romance language by the time you take your exams.
