University of Seville
Founded in 1505, today the University of Seville (USS) is one of the largest institutions in Spain. You’ll share the hallways and university facilities with Spanish students of the Facultad de Filología and the Facultad de Geografía e Historia (Schools of Philology, Geography and History), located in an 18th century building that originally housed the Royal Tobacco Factory and served as the backdrop for the opera Carmen. With such a long and prestigious history, it’s not surprising that the University of Seville is so well-regarded.
More than 70,000 students attend the University of Seville, with an international student population of about 4,000. You’ll take courses through Cursos Concertados con Universidades Extranjeras, which offers two tracks of multi-disciplined courses – one track in English and another in Spanish across content areas. Although you will be attending class with other international and US American students, you will glimpse Spanish university student life when attending classes in these two very popular departments.

Please note that all costs and charges listed below are subject to change without notice. With the exception of Program Price, all costs are estimates and may vary.
