" I wanted to go to Spain because I really like the country and also had Spanish lessons in high school. Barcelona in particular really appealed to me because there are lots of things to do and because it’s a beautiful city next to the beach."

Information about the language of instruction at the Faculty of Pharmacy (only available for Master's students):
For undergraduate programmes, approximately 80% of the teaching is conducted in Catalan. The remaining courses are taught in Spanish; however, not all subjects offer Spanish-taught groups. Please note that we do not offer any bachelor's degree courses in English.
Regarding master's programmes, only the Master's Degree in Biomolecular Sciences is partially taught in English. Detailed information about the language of instruction can be found here:
For this reason, in most cases we require students to provide a B1-level certificate in either Spanish or Catalan.
