Step into another culture and see for yourself how people half a world away live, learn and grow. Your opportunity awaits through the Marquette University Study
Center in Madrid. Founded in 1965, the Study Center will immerse you in the language and culture of this beautiful, exciting and historic European city.
You will experience the city in its natural glory through exploring places like the Parque del Retiro, a favorite spot for Study Center students. Shop in the markets and small stores, sample Spanish cuisine at cafés, tapas bars and restaurants. Live the culture through the many festivals, theatre, music, dance and other entertainment offered. And you can do all of this easily and affordably with Madrid’s excellent mass transit system.
Nestled inside this cultural capital is a city with a surprising small-town feel. The neighborhoods of Madrid where you’ll live when you participate in the Marquette Study Center are warm and friendly places, each with its own unique charm.

And if that’s not enough, lace up your tennies and join the Club de Deportes where you’ll be able to participate in university intramural soccer, rugby, basketball and other sports. There are many opportunities to live, learn and grow—intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
