IE University welcomes students from the University of Arizona

The Tucson University of Arizona (USA) is regarded as an international model on technology and engineering studies. Thanks to an agreement with IE University, 25 of its students have come to Spain on a cultural and language immersion program. On the next six weeks, the will go to classes given by professors of both institutions not only in the Santa Cruz la Real campus, but also in different places around Segovia to learn about Spanish language, literature, culture and art.

Students stay with Segovian families in order to get to know Spanish culture and customs, and have a thorough knowledge of Spanish when they return to the United States. To reinforce learning, students will be involved in a wide range of activities including guided tours of the most significant places of the city of Segovia – the Roman Aqueduct, the Alcazar and the Gothic Cathedral, as well as nearby cities like Toledo or Madrid, with its Prado and Reina Sofia.
