    PS: We recommend that you let us check and sign the document before you send it to your coordinators at your home university, to be sure that you don't have to make any unnecessary changes.
  • Submit your Learning Agreement by e-mail to Sonia López or, if your university does not use its own document, through the OLA-Portal, so we can review and confirm your course selection. 
     
  • Important: You must take at least 2 courses from the Department of Romance Studies per semester. In addition, you can take other courses, but only from the areas listed below - please note the additional information.
  • Important: In Germany, there is a completely new range of courses every semester and only a few courses are offered regularly. We therefore recommend that you only prepare your Learning Agreement once the new course catalog is online.
