Description

Barcelona SAE offers study abroad options at the University of Barcelona for those students with at least some Spanish language background who want to take all of their courses in Spanish. There are specially designed elective courses that are taught in Spanish but for students who are not fluent. This "content-based" learning is a great way of furthering studies in areas you are interested in while vastly improving your Spanish skills.

The UB offers an Estudios Hispanicos (Hispanic Studies) program taught in Spanish but adapted to the students' proficiency levels, based on Spanish and Latin-American culture. This way, the students are both improving their Spanish and learning about a specific subject at the same time.

Through a special department of courses designed for international students at the UB, you have a wide range of courses to choose from focusing on Hispanic Studies. The courses are taught in Spanish by local faculty, so a minimum of one year Spanish language is necessary.

Highlights

The Universidad de Barcelona (UB) was founded in 1450. The present central building was inaugurated in 1871 and is located in the heart of Barcelona. The university is particularly interested in fostering international relations, and for many years has been the leader among European universities in a number of student exchanges providing Barcelona SAE students the chance to meet students from around the world.

Barcelona Study Abroad Experience 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.

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.
