Loyola Idiomas is the Language and Culture centre of Universidad Loyola on campus in Seville. We are experts in language training and assessment and have given language and culture courses to thousands of students over the years.

At Loyola Idiomas we enable students to develop linguistic and cultural skills that will allow them to live and experience a richer professional and personal life. We want to open the doors to giving you the opportunity to live, study or work abroad without language barriers.

Loyola Idiomas is, furthermore, a meeting place for different cultures where you will be able to share experiences and knowledge through intercultural exchanges, developing positive attitudes towards the linguistic diversity and cultural pluralism of today’s world.

As a University Language centre, our programmes can offer ECTS credits and certification by an internationally recognised University, part of the International Association of Jesuit Universities (IAJU).

Why study in Seville?

Seville is steeped in over 2,000 years of history and has been described as the ultimate escape. Its city centre is one of the largest and best-preserved historic city centres in the world. When you walk down its cobbled alleyways and across its giant plazas, with horse carriages almost as common as cars and orange trees everywhere you look, it is easy to forget what time period you are in.

Seville is also the proud owner of three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Cathedral, the Alcazar Palace and the General Archive of the Indies, all of which we will visit during your stay with us.
