Spend a semester or academic year in the modern and cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, Spain, with AIFS Abroad! You’ll earn up to 15 credits per semester studying at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). Courses are taught in English or Spanish, with no previous Spanish language study required.
There are many ways to make an impact within Barcelona’s local community. Once you’re abroad, volunteer opportunities will be available through local NGOs to provide services to people in need within the local community.
Live in a Spanish homestay or, for an additional fee, in an apartment or student residence. Homestay students receive breakfast and dinner Monday through Friday from the family. Apartment and residence students have access to a shared kitchen.
Cultural and social activities include guided tours of Barcelona and its famous landmarks and attractions, cooking classes, Flamenco performances, and tapas evenings with Spanish students. 3-day excursions to the Pyrenees (fall only) and Tarragona and Southern Catalonia (spring only) are included in the program fee, as well as day trips to Gerona and Besalú, Figueras and the Salvador Dalí Museum, and Montserrat and Sitges.
