Objectives and competences

The UB's postgraduate course in Language Consultancy (in Catalan) and Publishing is a 30-credit course jointly organized by the Department of Catalan and General Linguistics and the Language Services. The 2023-2024 edition of the course will be offered in two formats: 1. face-to-face, and 2. synchronous online (same schedule). The synchronous online format is conditional on the enrolment of a sufficient number of interested students. As we are a face-to-face university, we give priority to the face-to-face format. In any case, the assessment of the language consulting module will be face-to-face, at the UB Faculty of Philology and Communication.
