University of Salamanca, Spain: Why Salamanca?

Picture the perfect European university town—a world-renowned center of learning— surrounding a historic square constantly alive with activity, cafés packed with professors and students discussing current events, and theaters, cinema, and live music never farther than a short walk away. Add golden medieval buildings, Renaissance palaces, narrow cobbled streets and soaring cathedrals and you have the magical city of Salamanca. The University of Salamanca is the heart of this town, situated in the northwest corner of Old Castile. Its residents are proud of both the paramount role the university has played in the history of Spain and the role its current students will have in shaping the future.

Salamanca has a centuries-old tradition of balancing serious learning with a fun, relaxed, distinctly Spanish way of life. You’ll learn the technical aspects of the Spanish language in class, but you’ll perfect the art of speaking Spanish while hanging out with friends in the Plaza Mayor. A variety of included and optional activities provide you with a deeper understanding of Spain’s history, as well as a chance to appreciate its natural beauty and cultural expression.

The University of Salamanca is a dream come true for students looking for total immersion in Spanish language and culture, and Salamanca Summer Advantage will allow you to experience it at its best!
