Description:
Our Spanish and University Semester Program combines intensive Spanish courses with our university program, designed to give students the chance to improve their Spanish before beginning the semester program. Through this program student may arrive before the academic semester begins and enroll in an intensive Spanish course at the University of Belgrano in Buenos Aires or the University Language Center of the University of Buenos Aires.
Road2Argentina offers two semester programs in Buenos Aires: at the Universidad de Belgrano and at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. Credit is available for all semester courses.
In the semester program at Universidad de Belgrano, you can combine any number of courses, choosing between courses in English, courses in Spanish designed for international students, or courses from the regular university catalog (with Argentines). You will also have a Spanish language course as a part of your schedule. The semester program begins in March and July.
In the semester program at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, students take courses through the School of Social Sciences and School of Economics. Both colleges are known for their excellent faculty and demanding course work. It is recommended that students who wish to study at UBA have an intermediate to advanced level of Spanish as all coursework is in Spanish. Included in this semester program is a personal tutor to help you with your course work.
