Program Overview

OUR MOST AFFORDABLE SPAIN PROGRAM

Set your sights on Spain! Beautiful Barcelona has it all: Spanish and Catalan culture, stunning coastline, tantalizing food, and easy access to most of Europe.

IFSA puts it all in reach. Take classes at the IFSA Program Center with other IFSA students, taught by Barcelona-based faculty. Select from business, social science, arts and humanities, and interdisciplinary classes. There’s also opportunity for an internship.

For deeper immersion, opt to enroll in two classes at prestigious Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). UPF offers top-quality instruction in finance, communications, politics, and more, mostly taught in English. As a UPF student, you can also take advantage of university clubs and other offerings.

Living with other students in housing vetted by IFSA, you’ll find it easy to explore the best of Barcelona, from La Boquería to Sagrada Família. Plus, you’ll gain insights tourists often miss, with a great selection of excursions, all included (that’s right, no additional fees). Possibilities include discovering Dali’s groundbreaking art in Figueras, exploring beautiful Monserrat, known for mountain beauty and the Benedictine monastery.
