International Student Exchange Programs - Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Comillas CIHS)

Future Graduates will undoubtedly and increasingly need international experience in both Educational and Social fields. Comillas attempts to facilitate continuity to its students by offering studies at a prestigious university abroad, with the guarantee that the academic and comprehensive education and training received in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Comillas will be consolidated and reinforced.
Improvement in linguistic skills, knowledge of a cultural and social environment different from one's own, and the personal challenge of facing life outside the family environment are aspects of great utility for students in their future insertion into the job market and the development of a professional career.
With this objective in mind, Comillas CIHS has signed agreements with more than 135 universities so that students in various degrees, such as Early Childhood and Primary Education, CAFYDE, Criminology, Psychology, Social Work, International Relations, Translation and Interpretation and Philosophy can take part in this type of experience, for a semester or for a full year, at one of our prestigious partner universities, either through the Erasmus Program or through bilateral agreements.

Diploma International Relations from a Spanish Perspective
Description and Objectives
The Diploma in International Relations from a Spanish Perspective is offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Universidad Pontificia Comillas. Its aim is to offer training in International Relations from a European perspective, and especially from a Spanish viewpoint. It is, therefore, of special interest for international exchange students who come to Comillas to follow studies in International Relations or other related areas of study. Students studying toward this diploma will learn to see International Relations as a multi-faceted field in which the perspective of the analysts or actors must be taken into account. Spain is clearly an international participant of increasing relevance and carries out an important role in the development of European Foreign Policy. Studying the events and their development in the global area in political, economic, social , legal and cultural aspects from a Spanish perspective will undoubtedly provide added value to the education of students from other European countries, and especially to those from America, Asia or Australia.
Content and structure
To receive this official Diploma from our University, students must complete 20 ects credits in either one or two semesters. Students adapt the offer to their needs and concrete interests, taking into account their previous schooling, their majors and the orientation of their home universities. A student who does not finish 20 credits will not obtain the Diploma. The Diploma is considered a parallel or additional offer for international exchange students in the framework of the programs administered by the International Relations Service and the Faculties. Exchange students at Comillas can enroll in this Diploma at the same time as they enroll in the subjects for Spanish Students. Enrollment finalizes on the same date as the general enrollment for exchange students. Exchange students will not have to pay extra for these courses.
