Intensive Language (Bridge) Program (in Spanish)
This 3 week program has both linguistic and socio-cultural aspects, which allows students to be fully immersed in Spanish language and culture. The course will help students to adjust to university-level Spanish and give them tools to communicate effectively in their daily lives at UPNA and in Pamplona. As well as covering grammatical and communicative aspects of the language, the students get a wide scope of the Spanish culture, history and society. In addition to classroom time, four excursions in and around Pamploma are also included.
This program is an excellent pre-session addition to a semester of study at UPNA.
