Spanish for Foreigners

ESADA's Language Centre (CLE), attends students and teaching staff from foreign institutions as part of its mobility programme. In addition, activities are organised to promote cultural exchange between foreign and Spanish students.

Since 2018, exchange students of the Erasmus+ programme can access Spanish language courses, and accredit the level of Spanish reached at the end of their mobility.

The CLE is part of the ambitious internationalisation programme carried out by ESADA.

Preparatory courses

The courses taught at CLE are intensive and specific to improve Spanish language skills.

For students on the Erasmus+ exchange programme, ESADA organises free courses every semester specifically to help with design project presentations. These courses will be held at the beginning of each semester.

The courses can be credited in ECTS to be included in the Mobility Study Agreement. For further details please contact the Erasmus Coordinator at felixguerrero@esada.es.

In addition, there are regular cultural and leisure activities that allow both students and visiting teachers to get to know better the culture and the city of Granada.
