Study in Madrid

Study in Madrid with EF and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Spain’s proud capital city.

Madrid seamlessly balances the embrace of Spanish tradition with the rapid pace of economic development and social progress. Ornate bullfighting rings still dot the landscape, but so do towering skyscrapers in the business district, icons to Spain’s most prosperous economy. Madrid is home to several universities and the city has transformed itself into a world financial leader. Our internship program provides students with international work experience in fields such as business, tourism and event planning.

Study in Madrid at our fully-renovated language school, located in the fashionable Salamanca neighborhood, home to some of the city’s best covered markets and several foreign embassies. From here you’ll be just a short metro ride from the Plaza Mayor, a hub of life for generations of Madrid residents. If you’re planning on attending university in Spain or earning an official certificate for your Spanish studies, then enroll in our preparation courses for the DELE exam.

Spain’s Elegant Capital City

While many cities in Spain base their cultural identity on regional customs, Madrid is proud to call itself the country’s most purely Spanish city. Long standing traditions live on in this city, as evidenced by the long lines outside of the city’s bullfighting rings and the continued popularity of flamenco dancing.

Yet, as much as Madrid upholds local customs, this is not a city stuck in the past. The influence of Madrid’s restaurants, fashion boutiques, art galleries and design studios rival the cultural heavyweights of Paris, London and New York. Study in Madrid for an academic year and you’ll have time to truly discover the spirit of a city where tradition and sophistication live side by side. Take a long siesta on Saturday afternoons to prepare for late night dancing in the Huertas district. On Sundays, browse the rambling El Rastro Market, the city’s largest outdoor flea market. Or simply spend your evenings sipping wine, eating tapas and chatting with friends in sidewalk cafés. Just like Madrileños have done for generations.
