Loyola Idiomas is the Language and Culture centre of Universidad Loyola on campus in Córdoba. 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). In addition, as an official SIELE (International Service of Evaluation of the Spanish Language) our students can officially accredit their level of Spanish with us.
