The University of Deusto is one of the most distinguished and prestigious academic institutions in Spain, with campuses both in Bilbao and San Sebastián.
The University of Deusto is located in northern Spain in Bilbao, an area in which two official languages of different origins -Spanish and Basque- are spoken.
The courses are designed to develop the four linguistic skills: Listening comprehension, conversation, reading and writing. In addition, the program offers courses on Spanish Literature, Spanish culture and business. Daily class activities are complemented by guided excursions and cultural activities, including, in addition to a guided visit of Bilbao and surrounding coast, tours of Madrid, Segovia, Toledo and Burgos and a trip to Pamplona during the San Fermín festival |
