Languages
Language of instruction: Spanish

Personal comments
Be carefull with catalan: it makes it a little harder to learn and practice castellano, but it is also an additional opportunity. If you choose uic to have classes in english, dont trust them: it's lie, there aren't any!!!!!!(there are some in catalan though!). Secondly, there are so many erasmus..it will be hard to avoid speaking your own language..try it harder!
