The teaching language institution Education First (EF), under the supervision of the international consulting firm Price Waterhouse Coopers, has created the i2n Index, an initiative to determine the level of English of students of the private Schools Business Administration and Management and Economics, as well as the level of international outreach of these institutions.

The School of Economic and Business Sciences of the University of Navarra has obtained the best evaluation in the English variable, according to data provided by EF. It is followed by the School of Economic and Business Sciences of the CEU San Pablo University (Madrid), the CESINE University Center of Santander, La Salle BES of the Ramon Llull University and the Tolouse Business School-Campus.

When the variable international outreach is included, the first and second places go to Schools of the University of Navarra and CEU San Pablo, but the third place goes to La Salle BES.  

This study has also shown that the average English level of Spanish students between 20 and 22 years of age is higher than the average English level of German, Italian and French young people.

Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, the University of Navarra will participate in the first edition of the Pamplona Language Abroad Fair, an event aimed at students of all ages, university students and professionals from different sectors. Anne Cassidy, from the University of Navarra's International Office , will speak tomorrow, Friday, from 12:00 noon, about the institution's internationalization process. The Palacio de Congresos Baluarte will be the chosen venue for this quotation free of charge for all attendees.

This first edition of the Language Abroad Fair in Pamplona has the participation of companies and institutions such as EF Education First, University of Navarra (UNAV), University of Cantabria (CESINE), ESDEN Business School, the Centro Navarro de self-directed learning of languages (CNAI) and the City Council of Pamplona.
