The Faculty of Business Management has a very restrictive policy of acceptance of students from other schools and faculties, courses there are not open for exchange students. However, business courses are offered at other faculties as well.  

In general courses are taught in Spanish, but some UPV schools offer courses in English. The Bachelor degrees in Electronic and Aerospace Engineering can be followed fully in English.

Therefore, a good level of Spanish and flexibility in your choices will make things easier. To take courses in Spanish, a B1 level is required and needs to be proven with a certificate before the exchange programme starts. For courses taught in English minimum an English B2 level is required, if needed, the International Office can provide a statement declaring your English language level is at C1. This applies to both BSc and MSc Aerospace Engineering students. For more detailed information, visit the following LINK.
