Global Learning Semesters is partnered with the Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona for our Semester in Barcelona: Spanish Language & Culture program. Our host institution is fully accredited and will provide the transcript for students successfully completing academic course work.
The semesters last between 16-17 weeks and every course is worth 3 credits (45 class hours).
Course Curriculum
The study abroad program includes a wide array of language and content courses for students to choose from that allow them to focus on their academic interests.
Students are required to take 90-hours (6 credits) of Spanish Language courses and choose 2-3 other content courses in English depending on their preference of concentration. Students in the first 3 Spanish language levels may opt for 45 hours of Spanish, and 3 credits.
Students can also take COMM-280: Intercultural Communications. This is a 3-credit, online course offered by the University of Nicosia, Cyprus. Students will attend the course online, and the University of Nicosia will issue the transcripts.
Placement Test
Students must take a standard language placement test in order to be assigned correctly to their appropriate level. This needs to be done before your arrival to Barcelona.
The UAB study program has a great number of professors, both Spanish and foreign, who teach in the different academic fields offered by the university. Many of our professors have studied, researched or worked in the United States, so they know the profile and the academic needs of the students very well. The class environment is dynamic and relaxed, which enables and facilitates student participation.
