This program is intended for College of Management students only, as the exchange is between NCSU's Poole College of Management and the Universidad Pontificia Comillas' Facultad de Ciencias Economicas y Empresariales - ICADE (or Business Administration and Economics). The University The Universidad Pontificia Comillas, founded in 1890, is one of Spain's most prestigious private Jesuit universities. Originally located in the town of Comillas in northern Spain, the university moved to Madrid in the 1960s and expanded its fields of study to include a broader range of students. There are over 10,000 students enrolled in the University's degree programs during the year, including approximately 1,000 international students. The University has departments ("facultades") of Business Administration and Economics; Engineering; Human and Social Sciences; Law; Nursing and Physiotherapy; and Theology.
Plaza Mayor ~ Atocha train station ~ Calle de la Sal The city of Madrid is the center of the cultural, economic, and political life of the Spain. Madrid is well known for the outstanding quality of its museums, nightlife, and sports teams. Team Real Madrid, one of the most successful professional soccer team, calls Madrid home. Although the city has over 3 million residents, students will find its residents warm and welcoming, and the city easily navigable with its underground Metro and bus system. As the University is located in the center of Madrid, students will have easy access to shops, museums, parks and nightlife. While Madrid possesses a modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighborhoods and streets. The climate in Madrid is generally mild, sunny and dry. Fall and spring bring the most rainfall while winter brings the cold temperatures.Accommodations
Although the University does not have student housing facilities, they are prepared to assist students in finding accommodations. The Office of Information, Welcome and Lodging provides lists of private residence halls, rooms available in shared flats, as well as a list of families interested in having a student live in their home. Homestays typically include meals and laundry service and range 630-750 euros/month. Most resident halls offer a meal plan and housing costs range from 600-900 euros/month. Students interested in finding an apartment should plan to arrive a week early to conduct their search, using the lists provided by the University. Program Terms In Spain, typically the academic year begins in the last week of September and ends in the first week of June. The first semester begins in the last week of September and runs until the end of January. Due to the fall term ending in late-January, NCSU students are not eligible to study on exchange in the fall term, rather for a full year or spring semester only. The second semester begins mid- to late February and ends in June. At the end of each semester, there is an examination period. During the academic year there are two vacation periods, as well as numerous holidays. The Christmas holiday normally lasts from late December (starting just prior to December 24) until after the Feast of the Epiphany, held on 6th January. The Easter holidays usually last for a week, Semana Santa, in the months of March or April.
