Spanish Language and Culture Classes

During the Welcome Week at Universidad Loyola, exchange students will join a free, intensive Spanish language and culture course. Before beginning classes, they will be sent a Spanish language level test by Loyola's school of lanugages, Loyola Idiomas, to place students in the group that best fits their level.

Throughout the stay at the Universidad Loyola, students have the chance to take Spanish courses that will help improve the language level and get the most out of their exchange. The language courses are directed by Loyola Idiomas.
