We offer exclusively Spanish Courses for Erasmus students who are having difficulties following their classes at the University of Murcia, or for students who would like to improve their Spanish taking a long term language course.

You should know that the University of Murcia also offers Spanish lessons, that´s why students join our courses!

The course consists of 2 lessons per week split into two days (1,5 hours each day). All students have to take a placement level test before starting their course. Although this course is focused on ERASMUS students´ needs it is also open to non University students.

The maximum number of students in the classrooms is 10, so we can always guarantee high quality language courses.

In addition to the course, we offer the possibility to take part in an exchange with Spanish students and a wide weekly activity programme, such us weekend boat parties, bbq´s, trips to Cadiz carnival party, day trips to Valencia´s Fallas & Alicante, weekends in Ibiza, Granada or Madrid, ...

Those students interested in a more intensive course can check out our offers on general Spanish courses and improve their language competence.
