A Guide to Study Abroad in Mexico City

Studying Abroad in México City

The areas of study in Mexico City are as varied as the city itself, whether you are an expert or a beginner Spanish speaker. If you already have a high level of Spanish language skills, your options for study abroad in México City will be virtually endless, as you’ll be free to study at any one of the many universities based in the city. The National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), is not only the oldest and largest in the Americas, it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the highest-ranking Spanish-speaking university in the world. You’ll also find a branch of Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) right in the heart of México City, as well as the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana (UAM).

If your Spanish needs some work (or you speak none at all), don’t worry about feeling like a fool when you open your mouth. You’ll be welcomed with kindness anyway, and there are plenty of English-friendly study abroad programs in México City to choose from, most of which include Spanish language courses. Before you know it, your newfound language skills will roll right off the tongue! 

It’s no surprise that students flock to Mexico City to study art, including studio art, design, and performing arts. You can even supplement your studies with visits to some Mexico’s great works of art. The Museo de Arte Moderno is a must see for pieces by muralists Rufino Tamayo, Diego Rivera, and Frida Kahlo, just to name a few. The mural art movement, which is highly visible in México City, brings light to the history of post-Revolution Mexico when art was used to unify the country politically and socially.

If your interest is in history, you’ll be pumped to learn that there are a plethora of sites to visit and study firsthand to learn more about the Maya and Aztec pre-historic cultures. You can also examine how these civilizations have shaped the city today by exploring ethnic studies and the roles of and interactions between gender, culture, and race in Mexico. Other popular subjects of study in México City include religion, environmental studies, international relations, and social justice. 

Many study abroad programs in México City have a service learning component, such as teaching English at a local high school, serving food in a homeless shelter, or providing basic health care through some type of community center. Volunteering outside of the classroom will allow you go beyond the perspective of a tourist and totally immerse yourself in the culture while positively impact local communities.
