Description: Established in 1886, the University of Deusto is located in the heart of the city. Students study Spanish at the university's department for visiting students, the Cursos Internacionales Deusto de Espanol (CIDE). Students can choose from courses in Spanish language, Basque culture, international business, international relations, and more! Located across from the Guggenheim Museum, the University of Deusto has an enrollment of 14, 000 undergraduate and graduate students offering numerous specialized diplomas, masters and Ph.D programs.   

Highlights: From its quiet beginnings as a seaside fishing and trading port in the 14th century, to its rise as a leader in Spain's industrial revolution, Bilbao has long demonstrated its ability to renew itself as the Basque Country's biggest and busiest city. Today, Bilbao draws people from across the globe, as the heart of Basque Country business, culture, education and fine art. As they study and create art, API students will be immersed in the energy of this artistically rich city. The new symbol of Bilbao is the Guggenheim Museum, which many consider the pinnacle of creativity. Students can visit Old Town, filled with shops and restaurants, and can explore the newer side of Bilbao, with its modern architecture. Bilbao is home to the Cathedral of Santiago, the Basilíca de Begoña, the Museu Vasco, and the Museo de Bellas Artes. These sites and many more welcome API students who choose to explore one of Spain's most fascinating cities.
