Multidisciplinary Studies Program at UPO

I was at UPO for one year and I loved it! I was originally only supposed to be there for one semester, but extended it to two semesters because I had such a great time. I met so many people - other internationals through my classes, and spaniards through the activities CUI arranged. The university also offered different trips and activities, such as flamenco shows, the trip to Italica, etc. The "Spanish Tables" made it possible to meet and speak with other people from Spain - free food and great practice! The teachers are awesome, the classes were fun and the school is great! I lived with a fantastic host family, and feel like I really got to know the Spanish culture because of that.

The academic support at UPO is not that great but the location you are in for Sevilla study abroad programs is amazing. The academics are vastly different and do not even offer the ability to view your grades.

My Spanish teacher was great and so patient when teaching a bunch of elementary level Spanish speakers. My business classes were awesome and provided an amazing international viewpoint when discussing various topics. I loved playing volleyball and soccer in the clubs the university ran. Additionally, I went to choir practice twice and it was so fun singing in a different language! I would highly recommend this program. I managed to transfer 12 credits into my actual degree that weren’t just electives.
