University students
The Hispanic Studies Courses combine Spanish language learning with the study of different aspects of the Spanish-speaking world, such as history, literature, art, and traditions.
These courses allow students to improve their Spanish and at the same time, further their knowledge on history, literature, art, cinema and other aspects of Spanish and Hispanic American culture.
The Hispanic Studies Courses are taught by specialized teachers from our school and from different universities in Spain and Hispanic America.
Throughout their academic history, these courses have also welcomed teachers from prestigious international universities such as Harvard, Yale, New York, Montreal, and Puerto Rico, which has contributed to strengthening the international prestige of the Hispanic Studies Program in Salamanca.
To participate in the Hispanic Studies Courses, a minimum B1 level of Spanish is required.
In the case of the Summer University Hispanic Studies Course, the minimum level required is B2.
If you would not have the sufficient level (B1) to take these courses and you decide to incorporate into the INTENSIVE SPANISH LANGUAGE COURSES, you should pay for the difference between both courses.
To obtain the Certificate in Hispanic Studies, it is mandatory to enroll in four subjects (including Spanish Language) and attend classes regularly.
Each subject consists of 4 weekly class sessions (except Spanish Language, which has 5).
The Spanish Language subject is mandatory.
Our school is entitled to cancel any subject which does not have a minimum of 4 students enrolled.
Likewise, we can offer other subjects (apart from those specified in each course) if a minimum of students would be interested.
