Program Overview

A TRADITIONAL UNIVERSITY WITH A SMALL-TOWN FEEL

Whether Spanish rolls off your tongue or you鈥檙e new to the language, you鈥檒l feel at home in the Andalusian capital, known for its welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and authentic character. From the world鈥檚 largest gothic cathedral to the Plaza de Espa帽a with its balustraded balconies, there鈥檚 always a beautiful building in sight. And though the city inspired a slew of operas and the birth of flamenco, it also looks forward, with a ground-breaking solar power tower and Jurgen Mayer鈥檚 modern Metropol Parasol.

The Universidad de Sevilla is a great choice for students of liberal arts, economics, finance, and STEM, and offers classes in English or Spanish. It includes four campuses throughout the city, including the main campus, just east of the historical city center. La Universidad鈥檚 Center for Cultural Initiatives hosts an impressive array of art exhibitions, debates, films and more that make it easy to explore and discover.听

With 麻豆视频, your Seville experience also includes eye-opening excursions to places such as Granada (home of the breathtaking Alhambra palace and fortress), Cadiz (the oldest city in Western Europe, surrounded by incredible beaches), and Cordoba (noted for its historic center, a World Heritage Site).

Seville鈥檚 sunny climate makes it tempting to stay put. But if wanderlust strikes, it鈥檚 easy to explore much of Europe from here.
