- Lengua B
We offer four Lenguas B (first foreign languages): Arabic, English, French and German. To study at the FTI, you should have level B1 (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) of the first foreign language of your choice. In the case of Arabic, due to its special characteristics, the recommended level is A2+.
- Lengua C
We offer nine Lenguas C (second foreign languages): Arabic, Chinese, English, French , German, Greek, italiano, Portuguese and Russian. Students can choose among eight languages, as the Lengua C of their choice cannot be the same as their Lengua B.
For the Lenguas C, no previous knowledge of the language is necessary, as these courses normally start from beginners level. However, English and French are an exception, as the students have normally studied these languages before. To learn more read the teaching guides for each course.
The number of vacancies for each course is limited, in the interests of guaranteeing teaching quality. Vacancies are filled in order of enrolment.
