SPAIN: UNIVERSIDAD CARLOS III DE MADRID - UC3M (SEMESTER/YEAR)

In addition to being the geographical center of Spain, Madrid is also a major financial, political, and social capital of the country. With excellent public transportation, students can easily access all the incredible historical, architectural, cultural and artistic activities this great city has to offer. UC3M has two primary campuses, Getafe and Leganes, with a wide-range of curricular options. Most GV students study on the Getafe campus. There are limited courses available in English, so this program is most suitable for students who have a proficiency in Spanish and can take courses in either English or Spanish. Students who do not have a proficiency in Spanish are expected to be very flexible with regards to the course selection. UC3M does its best to accommodate each student's needs, but they do have limitations on the number of available spaces in the English taught classes. Additionally, most of the administrative necessities will be conducted in Spanish. International students comprise about 25% of the total student population (approx. 600 students from EU, 200 students from other parts of the world). Students who are taking courses taught in English will take classes primarily with other international students. This program requires students to exercise a high degree of flexibility. 

UC3M does offer a Spanish Language Center for students interested in taking courses in Spanish language. The program offered by the Spanish Language Center is not part of our regular exchange with UC3M. Students interested in the Spanish Language Center should contact Becca Hambleton at [email protected] to learn more about this option.
