Personal comments

I have studied mainly at the University of Granada, except for the year that I participated in an exchange project which allowed me to study at the University of Leuven (Belgium), a very enriching experience. Apart from being introduced to Belgian and International Law, I enjoyed the direct contact with other cultures and values. I also had the opportunity to improve my English (classes were in English), and to learn a bit of French (language that I am currently working to improve).

Communication was mainly in English (inside &outside of university). Dutch is a language difficult to learn in a short time period; however, Belgians speak english very well, so communication was not a problem at all.

Course recommendations

don't settle with what the teachers say. go course "shoping" and choose acording to what your home university requires. add some more that you enjoy, even if they don't belong in your official degree.
