About
Granada was the last Moorish stronghold to be recaptured by the Christian monarchs in 1492 and, although never officially Spain's capital, its symbolic importance in the creation of modern Spain has made it a familiar name to historians and tourists alike. And though it’s historic, today Granada is a modern college town filled with a ton of opportunities to immerse yourself in its community and experience its culture.
Universidad de Granada
- Founded in 1531, the Universidad de Granada (UGR) is one of Spain’s oldest and largest universities, located in the vibrant city of Granada at the intersection of Moorish history and Spanish culture. You'll study at UGR’s Centro de Lenguas Modernas (CLM), located in the heart of the historic Realejo neighborhood, surrounded by Renaissance palaces, Gothic churches, and cobbled streets.
- Enhance your immersion through low-cost and free cultural activities, including concerts, flamenco shows, art exhibitions, and local excursions
- Practice your conversational skills through a structured language exchange program that pairs you with local Spanish students for two-way learning and cultural exchange.
