The different language courses favour the comprehensive education of students and the internationalisation of the University of Oviedo, with Spanish courses for foreigners and language training programmes for teachers.
The House of Languages provides non-regulated instrumental language teaching at the University of Oviedo and thus supports its internationalisation objectives. It offers courses in some fifteen languages, as well as courses in Spanish for foreigners and language training courses for university teachers. The languages taught are: Arabic, Asturian, Catalan, Chinese, English, French, German, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Spanish Sign Language, Portuguese, Russian and Ukrainian.
Language training also includes a wide range of courses adapted to the needs of university students and society in general. In addition to the general language courses, the University of Oviedo has an attractive programme of Spanish courses for foreigners, which each year brings around a thousand young people from different countries to Asturias.
Intensive courses, aimed at both teaching and administrative staff of the university, and those offered for external institutions and workshops for PUMUO reinforce the educational offer. In addition, the House of Languages is an accredited centre for the official English IELTS, French DELF-DALF, German Goethe and Italian PLIDA exams.
