I am Jorge Pinilla, from the Internationalization and Cooperation Office of the Public University of Navarre (UPNA), Pamplona, Spain.

I am contacting you in order to introduce our Spanish Study Abroad Program that will be held on June 2019, from the 10th to the 28th.

This course is intended for students with an intermediate level of Spanish (≈ Level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) who wish to improve their language skills and at the same time get a closer contact with Spanish diverse culture and society.

Spanish Study Abroad Program is worth 6 ECTS credits (3 U.S. credits), although students may arrange additional ones with their home institutions, given the large number of hours scheduled in it.

The course is focused on grammatical matters, communicative activities and cultural aspects of the country. In addition to lecture time, we have planned visits to the Navarra Museum, the Pamplona Cathedral and the city markets.

You might wish to take a look to the interviews of some students who have experienced studying in UPNA (please, see links to Youtube videos below).

Let me highlight the fact that Pamplona is one of the safest cities of Spain and has unbelievable surroundings. Politechnika Lubelska students that might decide to join the course will have the opportunity to visit and enjoy wonderful places as Urederra River Source, Olite´s Palace, Belagua, Roncesvalles (way of St. James), Xorroxin waterfall, and more! I encourage you to check these places out (see links below).

In addition, Pamplona is close to San Sebastian, home of the International Cinema Festival and well known for its innovative and delicious gastronomy, and to the south French frontier.

Correspondingly, the students will have plenty of opportunities to have a lot of fun and relax while putting into practice their language improvements and enriching their overall knowledge. 

I have attached a brochure of the course with this email. Full particulars are available at Spanish Study Abroad Program website. Please, click on the following link in case you wish to get a pre-registration form.

If you have any inquiry, please do not hesitate in contacting me.

I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Jorge Pinilla
