LocationVillanueva Centro Universitario, Madrid, Spain (Espana)

Villanueva is a University Centre attached to the Complutense University of Madrid since 1997. Complutense is currently one of the most complete and prestigious public universities in Spain, highly regarded both nationally and internationally. Villanueva champions an innovative model of university that nurtures the social print of such an institution, already in its second millennium of existence. One of the major features of this model is our specialization in Social Sciences with a view to becoming more efficient both in interdisciplinary research, and its academic and professional application within our three Faculties: Communication, Law and Business, and Education. We offer four week, eight week, twelve week and nine month long programs throughout the year. http://www.villanueva.edu/english-year-abroad/index.htm

It was a great experience that allowed me to know other cultures and lifestyles. In addition, I learnt a lot about the country where I studied. Indeed, thanks to my great teachers I am now able to speak fluently spanish. I am now enjoying my time in Hong Kong.

Yes, my studies in Madrid was worthwhile! I feel more comfortable with my spoken Spanish that is to say that I definitely improve my Spanish's skills. Moreover it was the first time that I live my home and now, I'm more independent.

I gained a lot of personal experience and reached a lot of language skills. The first two weeks where great to be welcomed in Madrid. They where filled with activities, excursions and explanations about Spanish life. I would always do the program as well and advise everyone to do it as well!

It wasn't my first one, it wasn't my best one neither, but it was the experience abroad where I lived the most as a local guy. I discovered a culture a way of thinking, a different approach of life. I would be really happy to work there
