University of Alicante – Centro Superior de Idiomas

The Centro Superior de Idiomas (CSIdiomas) is the official language centre of the University of Alicante, located at Edificio Germán Bernácer, Universidad de Alicante, 03690 San Vicente del Raspeig (Alicante). Both the Spanish-language course page and the centre's main homepage confirm this address. The centre is an official examination centre for DELE (Instituto Cervantes), SIELE, CertACLES, Cambridge, Oxford, and IELTS. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 9:00-14:00 and Thursday 16:00-18:00, reducing to 9:00-14:00 in July, August, and non-teaching periods.

Courses

Spanish programmes include intensive courses, semester-long courses, an Erasmus/exchange semester stream, a special summer programme combining language with cultural and social content in English or Spanish, and tailor-made online courses for institutions and companies. A Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training course is also offered. The centre additionally runs courses in English, French, German, and Italian, and prepares candidates for official examinations across five languages.

The campus

Classes are based on the University of Alicante campus in San Vicente del Raspeig, outside Alicante city centre. The language centre is in the Germán Bernácer building, so students attending a semester course use the same university grounds as learners on degree and exchange programmes.

The distinction between a semester course and an intensive course is particularly useful for visiting students. Exchange participants can fit Spanish study into their wider university experience, while visitors coming primarily for the language have separate intensive and summer options.
