About Program
Spend a semester in Spain with Expanish, studying at a local university in the heart of the city.
Spain is one of the most studied-abroad-in countries in the world, which means the competition for your attention is high. Here is what makes Expanish different: we own and operate our own study centers in Barcelona, Madrid, and Málaga. Our staff are Spanish locals who are on-site every day, not remote coordinators managing your experience from another country.
The program combines classroom learning with hands-on exposure to Spain's vibrant business environment and cultural scene, including company visits and guest lectures.
Cultural excursions and guided city tours complement coursework, providing real-world context to Spain’s economic, social, and historical landscape.
Program Highlights

Response from Expanish
¡Hola, Beckie! Thank you very much for sharing your experience and your thoughtful feedback. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at Expanish and that you appreciated the diversity of ages in the classroom environment.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced upon arrival with the host family. Unfortunately, your original host had an unexpected personal issue, and while we shared the correct arrival details with the new host, there was a misunderstanding regarding the day of arrival. We’re glad to hear that despite this, your host was kind, helpful, and welcoming during your stay. Regarding the location, the accommodation was within our guaranteed maximum distance of 35 minutes by public transportation, but we completely understand how important proximity and feeling connected can be, and we appreciate you sharing your preference for future stays.
Thank you as well for your suggestions about activities. We do share school activities daily on screens at the school and through our WhatsApp groups, and we also send out recommendations for events and weekend plans during the week. That said, we really like your idea and are already considering adding a dedicated “weekly recommendations” section to make it even easier for students to discover what’s happening around the city.
We truly appreciate your honest feedback and hope we get the chance to welcome you again in the future — perhaps for a longer stay next time! ¡Un fuerte abrazo!
