Credits at Salamanca University
When studying Spanish abroad, it is important to learn the language, have a great experience, as well as then being able to use the studies in Spain to validate current studies in your home country and for future professional use.
At GSS we will support you through the credit application process as we know it is important that you receive a recognised certificate and that you receive credits for your studies in Spain. Below you can find further information about the certificates given and the credits that are available for the programs we offer at Salamanca University.
