Courses at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are normally taught in Greek. However, there are courses in other languages too, especially at the Foreign Language Faculties, Faculty of Law (courses in English, French and German language), School of Journalism & Mass Communication, and School of Economics. In all other cases, there are special arrangements for LLP/Erasmus students, such as assignment of essays in English with the use of English bibliography in small groups of students.

2. Universitat de Barcelona
Language:
Our lectures are delivered mainly in Catalan and Spanish. Some master lectures are delivered in English.
We do not require exchange students to pass a language test. We do however expect exchange students who will follow courses to be able to follow the lectures. Therefore we strongly suggest all incoming students to prepare their knowledge of Spanish or Catalan thoroughly before coming to Barcelona. The exams are generally in Catalan or Spanish and there is no guarantee that the professor will offer the option of taking it in English.
Other courses:
Students are asked to choose courses from the Faculty of Biology (from different degrees) but they can also take courses from faculties other than Biology, but they cannot exceed 49% of the total. In this case, they will need to request permission to the person in charge of international exchanges of the faculty that offers the course they are interested in.
The access to master courses is not guaranteed: some of them have not available places or may require the approval of the Master programme’s director.
Laboratory training:
Students can also perform an internship in a laboratory, but they have to contact the relevant coordinator and register it. There are two options: half time lab training (15 ECTS) or full time lab training (30 ECTS).
Catalan language courses:
Basic 1 (3 ECTS), Basic 2 (4 ECTS), Elementary 1 (4 ECTS) and Elementary 2 (4 ECTS). The student must pay these courses. More information about the enrolment and the course fees at:http://www.ub.edu/sl/en/fl/bolxe.htm#credits
Spanish language courses:
Elementary and Intermediate level for 5 ECTS each. The student must pay these courses. More information at: http://www.eh.ub.edu/Cursos/ES/Erasmus.shtml
