Notes on degree courses

*Each school/college (known in Spain as a "facultad") organizes its own course schedules; given this and the distance between the University of Oviedo's campuses, it is not possible to take your discipline-specific courses in more than one school. If you choose this option, you will select one school from which to take your discipline-specific courses. In this way, your experience will be similar to University of Oviedo matriculated students, who take all of their courses within one school. 

You will take two (2) courses at the Temple in Spain summer session.

• Spanish language
• Spanish language or special offering by Temple faculty

For Spanish language, you will take a placement test prior to departure to confirm your level and course. Please note that courses require minimum student enrollment to run. Education Abroad and Temple in Spain reserve the right to cancel courses at any time.

BEST FOR

• Students seeking to begin or improve their Spanish language skills while fulfilling other degree requirements with course options taught in English.
