CURSOS-INTENSIVO-ESPAÑOL

August-September Spanish online Intensive course

The aim of these courses is that you can start learning or improving your knowledge in Spanish to help you getting on, both in your academic and personal life, during your stay here at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). We want you to make the most of the time you will be here and, for that, we offer you a 45 hour intensive course that you will be able to follow online before coming to the Basque Country.
