SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE PROGRAM

The courses have been programmed in different periods of length. They combine the teaching of the language, which is the main aim, with a broad insight into Spanish culture. Such courses are perfectly valid for students who are specialising in these questions, but are also appropriate for students not devoted specifically to the study of Spanish.
