UNC – Summer

The UNC Summer Program in Sevilla offers short-term, five- to six-week opportunities for students whose schedules may not allow a semester- or year-long study abroad. Programs vary in focus, including language and cultures, science, and business Spanish. Students also earn UNC credit while living in one of Spain’s most vibrant cities.

Sevilla, ranked the number one city to visit by Lonely Planet in 2018, is home to the worlds largest Gothic cathedral and extensive network of bike paths rivaling Amsterdam. The city’s rich history spans Roman, Muslin, and Golden Age influences, and its streets are alive with culture, festivals and local traditions.

From strolling along the river and picnicking in Maria Luisa Park to enjoying a tinto at El Salvador, summer students will immerse themselves in Sevilla’s culture, practice their Spanish and make unforgettable memories – all while earning academic credit.

Programs

During this six-week program, students take two courses and earn six UNC credits. Designed for intermediate and advanced Spanish learners, the program offers classes in language, culture, literature and history allowing students to earn credit toward their Spanish major or minor while practicing their skills in an immersive Sevilla setting.

The Spanish for the Professions: Business in Sevilla program allows students to earn credit towards Spanish for the Professions (Business track) minors while gaining firsthand experience in Spain’s professional environment. Students visit established companies and nonprofits across various sectors, enhacing their understanding of Spanish business culture. Cultural excursions, language practice and personal exploration of Sevilla and other regions of Andalusia make this a dynamic and immersive summer experience.

The Science in Sevilla program enables students to complete and essential course requirements for many science majors while experiencing Spanish language and culture. During this five-week program, students live in a residence hall and take one science course. Language learning continues outside the classroom through visits to local shops, cafes, restaurants, landmarks and excursions to other parts of Andalusia, blending academic with cultural immersion.
