Pompeu Fabra University

Pompeu Fabra University was founded in 1990. It is a young and innovative public university in the heart of Barcelona, between the historic center and the Olympic Village. The University is well-served by public transportation (metro, bus and train) and is near the Mediterranean Sea and Barcelona’s lively port.

Professor Pompeu Fabra was born in Barcelona in 1868. He is considered the father of modern Catalan. Although most academic year courses are taught in Catalan, the Department of Hispanic Studies offers an excellent summer program of Spanish language classes taught in Spanish.

The University library is equipped with computers, to which students have free access, along with the Internet. The library is open 24 hours a day.
