Situated on the northwestern corner of the beautiful Castilian plain not far from the border of Portugal, Salamanca proudly identifies itself as the home of one of Europe's premiere universities. The Universidad de Salamanca, nicknamed the "Oxford of the Spanish World," has earned its solid reputation. The combination of a large, famous university in a small, hospitable city makes Salamanca the ideal place to live and study Spanish language and culture. 

The IES Abroad Salamanca Program curriculum focuses on improving written and oral proficiency in Spanish. Both the language and area studies courses are designed to build language skills.  IES Abroad classes are held at the IES Center by IES faculty, many of which hold regular university appointments. Students can also enroll in classes at the two partner institutions: Universidad de Salamanca (USAL) and Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca (UPSA). Four semesters of college level Spanish are required to apply for this program.
