It was definitely worthwile, I could increase my Spanish skills, discover Spain and its strong history & culture, but also develop a strong network onsite.

Sounds great! I'd like to hear more about the location of the school and its relationship to the Complutense.

Location of the school: Claudio Coello, a very nice area, high quality flats and shops. I'm not quite sure about the relationship with Complutense, all I know is that its in the same complex.

Hi Murphy! Hi Poulad!

My name is Ana and I´m the Study Abroad Program Director in Villanueva.Villanueva is a University Centre attached to the Complutense University of Madrid since 1997.It means that our degrees are recogniced by the Complutense, if you study Law in Villanueva, for example , when you finish your Diploma is a Complutense´s one. Our teachers have to meet quality criteria of the Complutense and many Villanueva´s professors teach in the Complutense too.

Claudio Coello is in the City Centre, very near from Museo del Prado , Puerta de Alcalá or Retiro´s Park...some of the most famous places of the city
