“As someone who didn`’t study Spanish at all in my home nation, and as someone who doesn’t take naturally to new languages, IFP was exactly the experience I needed to conquer my ignorance and begin studying Philosophy here at the Universidad de Navarra. The teachers are nice and easy-going but tough and the methods are exactly what a new student needs to advance rapidly in Spanish. Outside of classes, IFP has a lot of activities to help a student learn about Spanish culture and become integrated in the community here at Navarra. Lastly, IFP’s rigorous testing program makes sure a student is ready to learn in Spanish.”

Caye Alessandro Francisco Rabat Philippines Diseño 2021 – 2025 “Being from a different country, especially one as far as the Philippines, I was always going to have to take my time to adjust to living in another country. The adjustment period, for anyone, is a daunting process, especially when you don’t even speak the language of the country you are going to. This is why I was so thankful for the IFP program, not only because it gave me the right amount of time to adjust and discover what I wanted, but also because it allowed me to somewhat grasp the language, at least the basics, allowing me to have a good basis for the further development of my Spanish.”
Manuela Saldarriaga Colombia Psicología 2021 – 2025 “El IFP es un programa que ayuda a los estudiantes internacionales a adaptarse e integrarse en la universidad. A mi me ayudó a decidirme a estudiar un grado en la Universidad de Navarra y más concretamente Psicología, una carrera que conocí gracias a las clases a las que asistí durante el curso.”
