Masters Degrees in Spanish

I am so thankful for my experience at Instituto Franklin-UAH. I graduated with a master's degree in ESL and Bilingual education in 2025. I would like to highlight a very special person, Iulia, who not only helped me succeed in the program as a young single mom, but who also helped me navigate some very difficult circumstances while far away from home. She did not hesitate to become an important part of our support system. I truly do not know where we would be today without her!

I’ve been here for a term now and I’ve had such a great time. The classes are small and intimate, and you get hands on experience with teachers who are experts in their field (I am in a class of 4 students), whilst also having 1 hour and 40 minutes of Spanish classes everyday! It’s a great opportunity to learn Spanish whilst also getting a Masters in Business Administration. There are no courses like this!

I was impressed with how easily the program and professors switched to online delivery during the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak. The administration team were supportive throughout an extended period of uncertainty, and I would happily recommend the program to anyone wanting to broaden their knowledge within the education realm.

Excellent program! Very manageable coursework with a teaching element included that allows you to earn some money and utilize the information you’ve learned in class while living abroad. Such a great experience!

Hi Kimberly: Thank you for the review! We are so glad you had a wonderful experience in the program. As an alumnus, know that our doors are always open to you. Un abrazo!

The Teach and Learn in Spain program granted me the freedom to travel, practice Spanish, and earn a Master's Degree in my desired field of study for an extremely low cost and high reward. This degree gave me the ability to teach Spanish at a notable private school in upstate New York. It has also taken me to China where I teach bilingual STEM and Science courses each summer. Most recently, it was my academic achievements at UAH that transferred to NYU where I will be continuing my studies in Speech-Langauge Pathology this coming semester. Although UAH handed us some, admittedly annoying, challenges, such as working out communication and travel flaws between the university and our school placements and finding accommodation, I wouldn't trade it for the world- in hind-sight. Also, be advised that the diploma and transcripts do take several months to receive! I give this program an overall 9/10 because the faculty are some of the most enjoyable, helpful, and understanding people you will meet. Your fellow classmates will become life-long friends. It is guaranteed that your experience living, working, and teaching in Spain will be at the top of your most rewarding career choices you will make.

Instituto Franklin offered various options to make tuition cost feasible, offered a major in the field I was interested in and the opportunity to continue teaching English while still studying. The staff was also very responsive and made the application process run smoothly. Yet, like any program some courses are more interesting/challenging than others but overall completing the Master’s program was pivotal towards my decision in making the transition out of the classroom to the area of international education. It reassured me that working with international students and/or students’ wanting to go abroad was what I wanted to do. Also, I feel it was a good addition to my resume, after moving back to California from Spain I was able to land a job shortly after.

I was looking for a cooking school that allowed you to actually participate in the preparation, cooking, and eating of the meals but having into account that I am already a cook I just wanted to make my way up to chef of a restaurant and here I learned everything I needed in terms of confidence, skills and current market. My Dad found this place and saw the abundance of classes offered and knew I'd find something here. The Master was absolute amazing from the beginning to the end. I enjoyed so much everything I learnt there. Now I can say thanks so much to have this great Master that allowed me to be a true competitor in this world to be the best chef ever in my town and open my own restaurant!

I enjoyed my time at Westminster University. I studied in the post-graduate course Media, Campaigning and Social Change. This course exceeded my expectations. It covered everything listed on the information site plus so much more. University of Westminster is very diverse and I always met so many people from all over, studying various and interesting topics. The academic staff are very professional and know their topics well. The foundation of learning at UW is based in critical thinking. I loved how I was allowed to express my own opinions, hear others and learn from them and also and analyse an idea from all angles. I would recommend this university and this course.
