Trinity in Barcelona: Study Abroad in Spain

The program is set in the center of Barcelona, the capital of Catalunya, with its distinct language and culture. Barcelona has undergone a recent renaissance with entire districts undergoing renovation and development. From its medieval gothic quarter and historic old town to its world famous art nouveau buildings and futuristic Olympic Village on the harbor, Barcelona is a city of contrasts and unrivaled artistic beauty and diversity. All students on the program take an intensive, early start course in Spanish and a core class on Barcelona that gives them an overview of the history and culture of this complex city. Students enroll in elective courses at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, one of Spain’s newest and best universities. They can choose from special courses taught in Spanish for international students or regular university courses. Offerings include classes in History, Economics, Hispanic Studies, Political Science, History, Philosophy, and Art History, and Film. Hispanic Studies students also participate in an internship at a cultural institution and can take an introductory course in the Catalan language or a semester course in advanced Spanish. Students interested in Studio Arts can do an independent study in Painting or Drawing with a local artist. A comprehensive orientation, cultural activities and excursions, and a trip to Madrid are included
