Physical Therapy Study Abroad Programs in Spain

This program gave me an opportunity that I wouldn’t have been able to do by myself. I had learned a lot about being the best Speech Language Pathologist should look like and continue that with my career moving forward. I would encourage anyone is capable of going on a journey to see it from a different perspective.

The professors are really good to teach the classes and as persons, Sevilla is a beautiful place, all the activities CIEE has as trips, sports, and learning more about the community and culture of Sevilla. That is why I would recommend CIEE.

I have definitely had a great time studying with UDC and Linguistic Horizons. The arrangements and trips provided by Nicole are always very fun, safe, and great new experiences to have. My host family is very nice and caring, and I have greatly improved my Spanish speaking, learning, and understanding skills through communicating with them daily. Nicole is very easy to reach and helpful in answering all questions. Would highly recommend!

Muchas gracias, Charles :)

I would be likely to recommend CIEE study abroad to a friend/peer because the experience was truly once-in-a-lifetime and I had so many incredible experiences and grew so much as a person. I would recommend this experience to anyone who has the chance and means.

I would recommend CIEE to a friend because they do a great job at dedicating time for travel for the study abroad students and the teachers are also very understanding of students motivation to go abroad.

During my time abroad I learned more about the world, myself and what i'm capable of than ever before. This was by far the most rewarding thing I have ever done and not a day goes by where I don't miss it. Ive made the best friends I could ever ask for, had some of the best food in my life, seen the most beautiful architecture and learned so much history about other regions its amazed me. I learned how to navigate new environments all on my own in countries where English was not a first language. Ive grown so much independently and mentally from this and will take it with me in my future success! For anyone that is on the fence about going abroad I strongly encourage that you won't regret it, the worst part about abroad for me was having to leave a place that I quickly called home!

I got to experience new experiences I have never experienced before. I got to experience the culture and also enjoy the food. I definitely met some friends for a lifetime. Overall, it was a great opportunity!

I had a great time learning and experiencing different cultures and meeting new people. The hands on work with individuals was very educational! Overall had an amazing time! One thing I would change is the order of activities. I felt that everything in Bulgaria worked out great and moved smoothly into the next activities. For Greece, I think having Athens first and then going to santorini would have been more relaxing. In Athens we did so much on our feet and had only one break the whole day, instead of doing Santorini first, it would be more relaxing if we could do the walking and touring in Athens and then have time to just hang out and sleep like we did in Santorini!

I have had an amazing experience with CIEE in Seville, Spain. Minerva has been amazing, and all the students have been so kind. CIEE listens to its students and wants them to feel comfortable and succeed.

I think CIEE has an incredible system, especially set up here in Sevilla. I have felt nothing but supported, helped, and guided in my time here by CIEE staff. I have loved every minute of my experience here.

I loved every second of therapy abroad! It was such an fun and incredible experience that I will cherish forever! Every moment being spent abroad was so eye opening and life changing and being able to learn from other cultures and experience different perspectives was incredible

This trip was nothing short of amazing. This was an experience of a lifetime with amazing people who share similar passions to change the world one step at a time! I learned so much while being in an environment that fostered so many great things. I will never forget or be able to thank Therapy Abroad enough for this amazing opportunity!

Therapy Abroad provided exceptional coordination and support for Illinois State University’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders during our recent faculty-led, short-term study abroad program in Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. Their expertise in planning and logistics ensured a seamless and enriching experience for both faculty and students, allowing us to focus on meaningful cross-cultural learning and professional engagement. From the outset, Therapy Abroad demonstrated an impressive level of collaboration, working closely with our faculty to design an itinerary that balanced academic rigor with hands-on experiences. Their attention to detail in scheduling site visits, arranging accommodations, and facilitating in-country transportation made navigating multiple international locations effortless. Throughout the trip, their team remained flexible and responsive, adapting to unforeseen circumstances with professionalism and efficiency. A defining feature of this program was the opportunity to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, including individuals with disabilities, local government officials such as the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, and esteemed academic institutions like Metropolitan College in Athens and Üsküdar University in Istanbul. Therapy Abroad’s well-established partnerships in these countries provided us with invaluable opportunities to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and broaden our global perspectives on speech-language pathology and disability advocacy. Beyond logistics, Therapy Abroad prioritized cultural humility, ensuring our group was well-prepared to navigate linguistic and cultural differences with respect and sensitivity. Through pre-departure training and on-the-ground guidance, they fostered an environment where students could engage thoughtfully with local communities, developing both their clinical and intercultural competencies. The emphasis on linguistic diversity was particularly commendable, as students gained firsthand experience working with multilingual populations and learning about the intersection of language, identity, and communication disorders in different cultural contexts. Overall, Therapy Abroad exceeded our expectations in every aspect of this study abroad program. Their commitment to excellence, cultural competency, and student-centered learning made this an unforgettable and transformative experience. We highly recommend Therapy Abroad to any institution seeking a well-organized, impactful, and enriching global learning opportunity.

Our team, David, Emo, and Stoycho made this trip the outstanding experience that it was. Clearly the beautiful countries of Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey provided the cultural experience, but the team provided context and support throughout the trip. They were kind and gracious every moment of every day.

I loved this trip so much!!! This was a wonderful opportunity to get to know my peers and professors better while also getting to know myself better. I hope this programs continues on for time to come so other students can experience the joy of traveling the world and learning from others.

I’ve loved every moment of this trip. While being able to spend this time with my peers from school and tour historical and cultural sites with breathtaking views, we also got to visit speech therapy clinics at colleges which was so awesome to experience. We also had THE BEST tour guides EVER- Stoycho, Emo, and David. This will be a trip I’ll never forget ❤️❤️❤️

The CSD cultural immersion trip to Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey was beneficial for students and faculty. The CSD specific activities were unlike anything that can be taught in a classroom. It was a pleasure to participate in of this experience with our students and my colleagues.

From the bottom of my heart, I loved this trip! All the observation and site seeing opportunities were excellent. We were all taken care of and if there was any worry, our professors and guides would help us through it. Everyone connected more on this trip and there was not a single person left out. Therapy Abroad is one of the best organizations to exist and this wont be my last trip :)

I had a life changing trip to Bulgaria, Turkey, and Greece that reaffirmed my belief in my field of practice (Speech Therapy), brought me close to different cultures, developed my personal philosophies, and broadened my horizons on both the world and healthcare. It was priceless, and it was all thanks to the excellent service, organization, and kindness boasted by this wonderful company.

This experience studying abroad was so amazing! Not only did I learn a lot that will benefit me in my future career, but I also grew as a person in experience, confidence, and flexibility. Learning about other cultures was cool to me as well. I loved the staff and how they cared for us! I would definitely recommend Therapy Abroad to anyone and everyone! And I can’t wait to tell my family/friends about the general ease throughout the trip and all I got to experience!
