Course Description
This course is aimed at complementing the training of undergraduate students from the International College of Macao University of Science and Technology (MUST) specialising in Spanish, who combine Spanish language subjects (major) with others in the fields of economics, communication and business (minor).
The academic programme for the 2025/26 course runs over three months (from 19 September to 22 December 2025). The programme offered to MUST students takes place at the Faculty of Humanities on the Albacete Campus. It includes both theoretical and practical sessions, applying active and participatory methodologies that promote learning through personal, business and cultural experience in a language immersion environment.
Its academic content is structured into two main blocks of knowledge. The first comprises compulsory subjects related to Spanish language and culture, while the second consists of optional subjects focusing on business- and economics-related areas.
Academic Programme
Block I: Compulsory subjects in Spanish language and culture:
Advanced Spanish I; Spanish Reading II; Oral Communication in Spanish; Spanish Society and Culture; Audiovisual and Conversational Spanish IV; and Final Course Project.
Block II: Optional subjects related to Business, Economics and their methods:
Marketing; Introduction to Communication; and Business Statistics.
The programme is delivered over 17 hours per week (14 hours from Block I and 3 hours from Block II). In total, it comprises 26 ECTS credits, equivalent to 17 credits at MUST.
Cultural Programme
The academic programme is complemented by cultural and technical visits, as well as attendance at conferences, talks and workshops organised by professionals from different sectors. All activities are connected to the themes of the course and aim to broaden students’ understanding and engagement with Spanish life in its cultural, economic and social dimensions. The cultural programme for the 2024/25 course includes, among others, guided tours of cultural landmarks, visits to specialised companies, and participation in various thematic events and activities.
