IES Abroad Barcelona Summer – Language & Area Studies

Picture yourself spending six weeks of your summer focused on speaking Spanish while living and learning in Barcelona, one of the world’s leading tourist, economic, and cultural cities. With IES Abroad, you’ll get to know Barcelona like a local student through our DiscoverIES: a unique blend of course-related and cultural field trips in Barcelona and beyond. Think of all the wonderful architecture you’ll see, history you’ll learn, local residents you’ll meet, and all of the tapas you’ll eat during your summer in Spain!

Open to all language levels, this program provides you with the equivalent of more than an entire semester of Spanish language study. English-taught area studies classes also are available.

You will enroll in a 4-credit Spanish language course and a 3-credit area studies course taught in English or Spanish (depending on your language level). Language courses develop your written and oral proficiency in Spanish and area studies courses provide an excellent opportunity to learn about modern Spain in the larger context of the European Union.
