Description

Imagine learning a little more about the history of Spain through a cooking class, or learning about Southern Spain's traditions while enjoying a Flamenco show. Get to know the barrios, or neighborhoods, of Barcelona in greater detail with small guided tours or learn about immigration affecting the city through diversity scavenger hunts.

The Barcelona International College study abroad programs offer students the chance to get credit for courses in English in Business and the Humanities in an international campus surrounded by students from all over the world.

Courses range from International Business to Spanish Culture. Most courses include academic field studies that allow students to use Barcelona as their living classroom. From art museums to walking tours of hidden gems in the city, professors of BIC enhance the students experience by making the most of the time abroad.

Electives are mostly taught in English but students are highly encouraged to take the intensive Spanish language classes to be able to get more out of the Study Abroad Experience.

Barcelona SAE knows that just as much learning takes place outside the classroom as inside which is why we organize several intercultural activities and excursions throughout the term.
