About Program
Study in Madrid, Spain
Universidad Antonio de Nebrija - Worldstrides
Madrid, the capital and geographic center of Spain, is a vibrant city with intense cultural, artistic, and intellectual activity. Take in impressive royal palaces, pristine parks, and world-famous art museums. The city itself is a unique combination of old and new. Certain areas of Madrid are filled with modern high-rise apartments and bustling commercial zones, while other areas offer traditional landscapes with picturesque neighborhoods and quaint cafes. Inhabitants of the Spanish capital, referred to as "madrileños," celebrate life at every turn, enjoying the company of friends and making the most out of each day. Madrid's cultural diversity, world-famous art and architecture, and dynamic nightlife appeal to students of all types!
The Universidad Antonio de Nebrija’s main campus, Madrid-Princesa, is conveniently located in the heart of the city along Line 3 of the Madrid metro. Worldstrides students at Nebrija will be able to take courses in English and Spanish with other international students. Both international and local Spanish students share the same academic buildings and have access to libraries, computer labs, and cafeterias on campus. Universidad Antonio de Nebrija is fully accredited and recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Education (Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia).
