Universidad de Salamanca Cursos Internacionales

Cursos Internacionales is the University of Salamanca’s programme for international learners of Spanish. Its main centre occupies the former Colegio Mayor San Bartolomé near the university and cathedrals. The restored building opened as the programme’s headquarters in 2020. Classrooms and an auditorium share the site with traces of earlier buildings, including a medieval church. The city’s venue directory identifies Plaza de Fray Luis de León as the address where the university teaches Spanish to international students.

Combining Spanish with a subject

The university describes courses of several lengths, including two, three, four, six and ten weeks. Its language provision spans different levels and can be complemented by study of literature, history, cinema, art or business Spanish. This gives students a way to choose the kinds of texts, conversations and vocabulary they are likely to encounter. A learner aiming to discuss films in Spanish has a different reason to select an elective from someone preparing to use the language at work.

There are also individualised and group programmes, training for teachers and university study options alongside Spanish students. When planning a stay, distinguish the short language-and-culture timetable from any university subjects, which can follow a different academic calendar. Confirm the building assigned to the chosen group, especially in summer when demand is highest.
