Qualified GEO students may also enroll directly in single courses offered though one of the University of Oviedo’s undergraduate programs.

As a result it is possible to take courses in both English and Spanish. We will soon be proving a list similar to the ones available for ELE to help you navigate through the direct enrolement courses.
Students usually take a combination of ELE and Direct enrolment courses. If you are interested in taking regular coursework at the University of Oviedo you should contact the Site Director as soon as possible so that she can help you plan and get the information you need. Actual registration takes place after you arrive in Oviedo.
