Cultural excursions provide students with an opportunity to experience the local environment. Weekly outings, including admission fees, are coordinated on behalf of the group. These events are built into the program and participation at each event is mandatory.
Excursions will vary on a yearly basis. Past excursions include:
- La Sagrada Familia
- Cable Car Montjuic
- Museu Picasso de Barcelona
- Park Güell
Participants will live together in a student residence in central Barcelona.
Participants will book their flights on their own and will arrange their own transportation from the airport to the dorm.
Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the end of the study abroad trip.
Texas Global Passport Services can process passport applications.
U.S. passports are taking an exceptionally long time to be processed. If you are even considering a study abroad program and you do not have a passport (or your passport will expire within 6 months of the end of your program), you should apply for one now.
U.S. citizens traveling to Barcelona will not require a visa if staying less than 90 days.
Depending on your nationality, you may or may not require a visa.
Visit the Spanish Foreign Ministry to view requirements for each nationality.
It is the student’s responsibility to research specific requirements for their nationality, and to apply for their visa, if necessary. At the student’s request, we will provide additional program-related documentation to support their visa application, such as an official letter, enrollment status at UT, housing and insurance coverage. Students are also encouraged to request formal documentation of student enrollment status from the UT Registrar’s Office and are required to notify Texas Global of their travel plans.
