SEMESTER PROGRAM DATES & FEES

---

​The Superior Course of Culture is aimed at those students who aspire to an understanding of the essential keys of Spanish culture in all its manifestations: art, history, literature, etc. The only requirement that students must meet is to have a high intermediate to advanced language level. 

All the classes of this course are given by professors of the Complutense University with extensive experience in teaching foreign students. The courses are adapted to the demands of these students and take into consideration the difficulties of all kinds to which they are confronted, from the linguistic ones themselves to those of cultural adaptation. The Superior Course of Culture also intends to offer teaching instruments to those who dedicate themselves, or intend to dedicate themselves, professionally to the teaching of the Spanish language and culture.

The culture classes (art, history, literature, etc.) are taught in the mornings, from Monday to Friday from approximately 9:00 AM - 2:30 PM.
