Program Description:

Granada - Study in Granada

Program Overview

Many travelers who visit Granada insist it's the must-see city in all of Spain. With one of the clearest windows into Spain's unique historical symbiosis of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, Granada is also a youthful city with a vibrant student life that will make meeting new friends even easier—Granada awaits!

Our curriculum takes full advantage of Andalusia and all southern Spain has to offer. The program offers two unique program options that are designed to improve your Spanish proficiency: the Intermediate Spanish Program and Advanced Spanish Program.

Students placed in the Intermediate Program take IES Abroad courses in both English and Spanish. The Advanced Program courses are conducted entirely in Spanish, including study at the Universidad de Granada. Both options introduce you to Spain’s Moorish heritage and Jewish past, and its continuing links to North Africa through Islamic and Contemporary North African Studies. Advanced students can also experience Arabic language courses of all levels, at the Universidad de Granada. You can also add international work experience to your résumé while earning credit by participating in an internship placement and accompanying academic seminar.

IES Granada

IES Granada Program

The IES Granada program offers intermediate and advanced Spanish students the opportunity to learn about the distinct qualities of southern Spain with its multi-cultural heritage. IES Granada takes advantage of the Universidad de Granada's strong Arabic, Islamic, Jewish and North Africa programs to introduce you to Spain's Moorish heritage and its continuing links with North Africa.

IES curriculum takes full advantage, as well, of Andalusia and southern Spain, the home of a unique style, flamenco dancing, and the city of Granada, birthplace of 20th century Spain's most famous poet, Federico García Lorca.

University Studies at the Universidad de Granada
The Universidad de Granada, in the early 16th century, is the third largest university in Spain. The University's links to the Maghreb are evidenced by two branch campuses in North Africa. Because of its size, the university offers diverse opportunities for students.

Particular strengths include Maghreb and Arabic Studies, Computer Science, Economics, Fine Arts (painting, sculpture, film making, design), Health Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Women's Studies.

The university has an active extracurricular program and encourages international students to get involved including participating in competitive sports via the university sports club. The attractiveness of its offerings has made Granada the European university with the most exchange students from the European Union.

Internships
Beginning with the Spring 2006 semester, IES internships will be offered as academic options, earning IES credit. Field placements are combined with a strong academic component which includes an academic seminar, tutorial or directed independent study, and an evaluative report from the supervisor of the organization offering the placement.

Internships will be offered primarily in areas related to tourism, cultural heritage management, social welfare.

City of Granada

Granada, the last capital of Moorish Spain, is a vibrant city today with a youthful population that offers students the clearest window into Spain's unique historical symbiosis of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Along the medieval streets of the Albaicín and among the palaces of the Alhambra, Spain's Islamic past is palpable. The narrow streets of the downtown area offer a large attractive mix of cafes, Moorish style tearooms, and tapas bars.

Granada's southern Spanish location makes the city a take off point for excursions to North Africa and gives you easy access to Mediterranean beaches and the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada. The city has a sunny moderate climate throughout most of the academic year.
