Spend a semester in Barcelona, and you will be offered a dazzling array of art exhibitions of Picasso, Miro, and Dali, theater events, film festivals, and concerts. There is something of interest happening every single day. Barcelona is the center of Mediterranean Europe, and home to more world heritage sites than any other city. Take classes in English and in Spanish, live in an apartment or with a Spanish host family, and absorb the Catalonian culture. And, Barcelona is only a two hour flight from Rome, London, or Paris, making travel quick and affordable.

Students studying in Barcelona through CIS are enrolled at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB), one of Spain’s top universities and known for its entrepreneurial spirit.

As the UAB’s President wrote in a recent letter to international students,
“Take advantage of all the cultural, social and sports activities the UAB campus has to offer. Study in our libraries, join a team or do sports, enjoy our choir or play in our university orchestra. Visit our theatre and cinema. Join our associations. Make friends and take care of each other.”
