Course Calendar

A wide range of Spanish courses are available, adapted to different student needs and timetable or calendar preferences, etc.

If you have the time and wish to improve your level of Spanish rapidly, enrol on the Language Courses, combining these with Complementary Courses in Spanish Conversation, Culture and Civilisation, and Spanish through Art, Literature, Business or Film. If you only have a few hours available for studying Spanish, because of other work or study commitments, you can choose between Combi or Active Courses, which offer less intensive timetables.

In order for you to get the most out of your stay with us, and so that you can fully embrace Spanish culture, we offer support services for students on our Spanish Courses: the Overseas Student Service, the Accommodation Service, and Cultural and Leisure Activities.

Spanish Language and Complemetary Spanish Courses
