University of Cuenca

The project incorporates the most advanced teaching methods, including CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), which enables students to not only learn Spanish but also practice it in real-life situations. The key focus is on immersion and integration: the chance to live with Spanish families, make Spanish friends and live the authentic Spanish life.

There is a wide variety of accommodation from which to choose. Host families are carefully selected (according to criteria such as location, amenities, food, etc), or there is the option to share an apartment with other students. There are also hostels and hotels in the city, as well as a university residence where students can stay (depending on availability). 

Outside of lessons, students are given the chance to take part in educational excursions, including those to nearby cities such as Madrid, Valencia and Toledo.

The project offers intensive immersion programs for adults of all ages, whether students or professionals. These can range from intensive courses (between 1 and 8 weeks, 32 hours per week) to long-term options (between 3 and 9 months). Other courses offer Spanish combined with other interests, such as the medieval experience, tennis, voluntary work and nature. All levels of Spanish are catered to and classes are small and personalised to ensure an enhanced learning experience. Students can start at any time during the year. Mornings are spent learning Spanish in class, while in the afternoons students experience the ‘Conquense experience’, which involves attending workshops suited to their own interests in order to practice the Spanish which they have learnt. There is a wide choice of workshops, including arts, culture, nature and sport, to name but a few.
