Are you considering studying at the University of Barcelona, or have you recently arrived from a non-Catalan-speaking area? In either case, you will no doubt want to know more about the language and culture you will find here. This site will give you a general introduction to the use of languages at the UB. 

The UB offers an introductory Catalan course to new exchange students. Those who would like to prepare before the semester begins can take the course intensively during the first two weeks of September, but the classes can also be taken during the semester. Once you have completed the introductory course, you can continue at a higher level if desired. There is a range of courses and timetables to suit different needs and abilities. 

As well as offering Catalan language tuition, UB Language Services organizes a range of cultural activities designed to help you practise your language skills, meet new people and get to know more about Catalan culture and society: language exchanges, conversation groups, guided visits, etc. All the information you need can be found on the website!
