Comillas has a long tradition of offering qualified and distinctive study programs that are adapted to social and practical needs, form strong ties with the professional world and facilitate exchanges with other universities. In keeping with this tradition, we offer the Diploma in Communication Skills and Foreign Languages Studies as both a compulsory and supplementary element of all new Bachelor's Degrees.
