IES: Granada - Study in Granada (Intermediate & Advanced)

The IES Abroad Granada - Study in Granada program provides students with exposure to Granada’s Islamic heritage in a Southern European setting, and a cross of cultures that is unique within the Hispanic world.  Advanced track students with sufficient Spanish skills have the option of direct enrollment at the University of Granada.

“I would highly recommend this program!! I absolutely loved it. Granada is perfectly sized and wonderful city with a rich multicultural history, lots of music/art/theater/cool things, close to the Mediterranean, close to the mountains, has the Alhambra, has trails right above it, is beautiful, is cheap, and has tapas. The IES staff also does a fantastic job of giving you resources and ideas for making the most of your time abroad and helping you deal with living in a foreign country.” - Alexandra S. '19
