3-Week Summer Program: June 1 - 19, 2026

Our programs are taught by outstanding local professors from the University of Navarra.

Spanish Language & Culture
Term: Summer Session I
Language: Spanish
Credits: 6 ECTS credit/3 US credits

We offer a unique sociocultural course that helps students improve their interpersonal oral and written communicative abilities in just 3 weeks. Courses are based on active learner participation. Students are expected to engage in interactive small and large-group activities. The different tasks presented in class will require students to use Spanish in multiple situations that reflect the use of different varieties of Spanish. Students also develop critical thinking and creative skills through a digital storytelling final project.

COURSE STRUCTURE

Four class hours per day Monday to Friday for 3 weeks (60 class hours). Co-curricular activities in the afternoon and weekends to enrich cultural immersion in Spain and to better understand the culture in the context of coursework are organized.

Students will have the chance to participate in social and cultural co-curricular activities gaining an immersion into life in Spain whilst making lifelong friends from all over the world.

Program includes activities such as Pamplona practical tour, Gipuzkoa coast day trip, Navarra Medieval day trip, Cathedral of Pamplona, Kayaking, Rumba Flamenco Class, and Stage Camino de Santiago.

All students registered in a course taught in Spanish need to complete a Spanish language online level test. This is sent to the students once their enrollment is confirmed.

Students will be placed in beginner, intermediate, or advanced Spanish Language & Culture courses.

For courses taught in English, students not coming from an English-speaking university must prove an advanced level of English.
