Welcome to Alicante University Language Centre’s website.

Who are we?

Alicante University Language Centre is located on the University Campus, a cosmopolitan community that hosts around 30,000 students, full of green spaces and distinctively designed buildings with great facilities for the students, and all this just 15 minutes from Alicante city centre, in the heart of the Mediterranean.

It is within these idyllic surroundings that we offer our Spanish and Foreign Language Courses, as well as our Translation and Conference Organisationservices and other complementary services such asAccommodation, Cultural Activities, Language Immersion Programmes, Grants for Study Abroad or Advice for Overseas Students.

We also organise Preparation Courses for Official Examinations in English, French, German and Spanish for Foreigners. We are an examination centre for several internationally recognised diplomas: DELE (Instituto Cervantes), French for specific purposes (Paris Chamber of Commerce); and Romanian (Romania Language Institute).

Mission

Alicante University Language Centre was established in 1995 as a tool and in-house resource of the university to promote its internationalisation in a globalised world where the international nature of education and the importance of language learning are key to achieving the aims of any modern, quality university.
In order to fulfil this main objective, it offers various services to both the university community and other institutions, companies or individuals: Spanish as a foreign language courses, language courses, preparation and organisation of official Spanish and English examinations, organisation of conferences, management and advisory services for international researchers and students, accommodation and student’s welcoming, organisation of trips and excursions, cultural activities, exchange activities, language immersion programmes, etc.
Thus, the Centre's mission is closely linked to that of the university in terms of internationalisation, language learning and promotion of critical and intercultural citizenship..

Vision

We consider language teaching, and all the activities that complement it and make it possible, a fundamental part of Education and, in the specific case of the university context, one of the keys to excellence and projection towards the future. A broad vision of competence in the real use of languages for the co-construction of knowledge and problem-solving, together with a firm commitment to multilingualism and intercultural awareness, are the pillars of our daily work, closely linked to that of the university as a whole, aiming to be leaders in training, innovation and social commitment.
