Dear student:

Would you like to have an amazing experience this summer in Donostia/San Sebastián, the European Capital of Culture?

The University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU), the leading institution in the Basque university system, offers you a great academic and fun idea through its “Basque Yourself 1st International School”, acomprehensive approach to the identity and culture of the Basque Country, from 26th June to 15th July.

This is a course worth 12 ECTS credits, an academic opportunity, taught by international experts, with a fun cultural plan to get to know Basque society and culture. Specific seminars and classes ranging from literature, dance and music to archaeology and humour; these are combined with the general academic offer of the UPV/EHU Summer Courses from which you could choose conferences and lectures with topics ranging from medicine and education to business, law and science. This extensive academic offer is completed with an elementary course in Basque, excursions to our valleys and coasts, and cultural and gastronomic experiences…And why not surf on our beaches? Or get started in the famous Basque cuisine?

All this managed by people who will guide and assist you throughout your stay with us. The programme will make a BY coordinator available for you who will accompany you on the weekend activities and they will be available 24 hours throughout the entire three weeks the programme lasts. As well as the BY coordinator, as a visiting student, the UPV/EHU will offer you BY Buddies, a local student who will help you during your first few days in the Basque Country.
