International Relations in Barcelona summer course in Barcelona, by Oxbridge Academic Programs.
Combining theory, case studies, and hands-on projects, students address the leading IR issues of our time. They examine how bodies such as the UN, WTO, EU, and ICC act upon the world stage, and how sovereign nations influence (and are influenced by) the world beyond their own borders. Globalization, peacekeeping, security, terrorism, diplomatic negotiation, legal arbitration, the media are among the topics discussed. Students in this course hone their critical thinking, debate, and presentation skills.
Oxbridge in Barcelona is housed in the Liv Student Residence, in Sarrià, a quiet neighborhood that lies within minutes of the city center.
In Barcelona, students live in rooms that are occupied by undergraduates during the year. They are housed in singles or doubles and each room is equipped with a private bathroom.
Students on the Oxbridge in Barcelona program choose one Major course and one Minor course to study for the month. They have the option of studying in English or Spanish.
Every class is designed to use Barcelona as a teaching tool. When students are not in class, they have access to a full range of optional activities designed to help them discover Barcelona and immerse themselves in Spanish life.
