• Popis: The present section of a monograph presents the results of the author's research on linguistic education at the universities of Spain by means of examining its current state and enhancement perspectives considering the leading factors of the European educational and scientific integration. A special attention is paid to analysis and generalization of innovative pedagogical experience in vocational training of bachelors and masters in specialty "Philology" at the oldest Spanish universities (University de Barcelona, Universidad de Valencia, Universidad de Sevilla). A close study of the university curricula, Hispanic Studies in particular, has shown that Spanish linguistic education is grounded on merging of the earliest academic traditions and modern teaching methods, and is carried out in a culture-congruent and culture-creative learning environment that is equipped with a large library stock, museum pieces, up-to-date laboratories, theaters, leisure centres, and innovative learning devices. It contributes to the linguists-to-be joining and constant staying within the culture, their mastering intercultural communication skills, and getting a complete linguistic, professional and culturological education. The research has proven that the leading Spanish universities pay much attention to graduates' linguistic and communicative competencies formation, as well as contribute to the bachelors' and masters' becoming cultural intermediaries in the field of intercultural communication, foreign-language and polycultural education. It is much favoured by the universities lecturers' internal culture that is based on the concepts of humanism, scholastic freedom and integrity, cultural pluralism and polycultural education that are appropriate to apply at the Ukrainian higher education institutions.
