Students who want to study abroad in Madrid during the summer with API will participate in the Spanish Language and Culture Program at Universidad Nebrija. This program consists of 2 classes worth 45 contact hours per course. Students take a placement exam upon arrival and are placed into a level based on the results of this exam. All students are required to take the Spanish language course at their level, and then may choose their second course from the Spanish-language electives at their level, or from the English-language electives. 

Setting Description:

Spain’s capital since 1561, Madrid is the contemporary capital of Spanish culture, finance, and industry. A large, international and cosmopolitan city, Madrid is a city of possibilities. It boasts incredible monuments and museums, including the Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Museo de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Visitors cannot miss the Iglesia de San Isidro, once the cathedral of Madrid, or the Palacio Real. Madrid is also known for its fountains and elaborate parks, including the glorious Parque del Retiro. The energy of Madrid is in its street life and warm people. To study in Madrid is to experience more than a classroom – it is to experience the history of Spain and its people. API gives students the chance to live and learn in this fast-paced capital city.
