Communication and Media Studies (Campus Vic)

Country

Presentation

For international students who wish to spend one or two semesters in Vic at the University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia, we offer a selection of communication-related courses taught in English. These courses are taught by the Faculty of Business and Communication and can be combined with Spanish Language courses. On completion, students receive a UVic-UCC certificate with academic credits that their home university may recognize. These courses are strongly oriented towards practice but they also cover the basic theory needed to work on real case studies. Professionals from the world of media and communication are invited to some of the course sessions.

The program includes a variety of courses from which students can choose (a minimum of four) to design their own pathway.
