Out of the lecture theatre
Innsbruck Romance Studies is characterised by the fact that the teaching staff offer you direct access to cultures and linguistic diversity in Romance languages as well as to academic research that is not limited to the lecture hall. The Innsbruck Romance Studies faculty will take you out of the auditorium to learn together with students from other universities or even to travel around the Romance countries and experience Romance cultures directly on site; the latter is often linked to your first own field research attempts and thus a direct application of scientific data collection methods from the classroom...
