Language Policy Division

Vice-rectorate for Internationalisation
 

The University of Cantabria is a university with an increasing European and international dimension, as shown in the number and quality of agreements with the best universities in the world. In order to achieve a further degree of internationalisation, the University of Cantabria has decided to demand its graduates a good command in English (B2 level according to the European Framework for Languages) by the end of their studies. In order to enable students to reach that level, the Language Policy Division has designed a Language Policy Plan which includes measures such as the following:

• making sure that English is used throughout the degrees and that all the undergraduate degrees offer as many subjects taught in English as possible

• making sure that all the teachers involved in the Language Policy Plan have the adequate level to teach subjects in English (C1)

• organizing exams and interviews to certify the language levels described above

• coordinating all the English teachers involved in the Plan

• organizing and supervising English courses (summer courses, extracurricular courses, teacher training courses) and Diplomas in English
