The University of Deusto is the oldest private university in Spain with its main campus located in Bilbao. GVSU students will study on the Bilbao campus either through the International Spanish Center (CIDE) or through the exchange program. Until 2015, GVSU students only had the option of studying at University of Deusto through CIDE. In 2015, GVSU and the University of Deusto expanded the opportunities to allow 1-2 students per year to participate in regular university classes through an exchange. Students interested in improving their Spanish proficiency should first look at the options through CIDE. CIDE offers both a Spanish language and culture program and a Business and Spanish program. CIDE options are available for the fall, winter, academic year or the summer. Students with a high proficiency in Spanish (a minimum of 5 semester of college-level Spanish), may consider applying to the semester exchange where they would take courses with local Spanish students in regular courses offered at the University of Deusto. The semester exchange is only available for fall and/or winter semesters.
Bilbao is located in the heart of the Basque Country in northern Spain. Bilbao is an amazing city with the famous Guggenheim Museum, restaurants, shopping, and incredible parks. Similar to Grand Rapids, Bilbao has a river that winds through the city with incredible walkways for those who like to venture out for a morning or afternoon stroll. Bilbao is just 12 km away from the Bay of Biscay which is a gulf in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a very easy city to navigate with easy access to public transportation.
