All classes are taught in English, making your international education experience truly global.
Alongside your Master’s studies, you’ll learn a new language — Spanish, French, or Russian — through our intensive language modules.
You’ll have the opportunity to pass an official language exam, and if you choose Spanish, you can take the SIELE exam directly at our school, since HTL International School is an official SIELE testing center of Instituto Cervantes.
Our specialization subjects focus on real-world professional skills that prepare you to start working right after graduation. Assessment is based on continuous evaluation, tests, and a final project presentation.
You’ll also complete an internship — either in Spain or any other country — to gain practical experience in your sector.
Courses are available on campus or online via virtual classroom, giving you maximum flexibility to keep studying no matter where you are.
Students can transfer between campuses or change the modality of their studies from on-campus to online after completing one module and before starting the next one. The face-to-face modality is offered only on the Barcelona campus. The virtual classroom modality is presented in Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia on the same timetable as the face-to-face modality.
