Communication and Cuban Culture. 2008 – 2009 academic year. (Español)

---

The topics related with the Cuban Culture have always called the interest of many international students we have had in our campus studying Spanish language. That is why the Department of Socio Cultural studies which belongs to the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, has decided to offer a course on this subject. This course also includes the improvement of the Spanish language skills.

During the 2008 – 2009 academic year the courses of Communication and Cuban Culture will be offered in the following dates:

October. (Oct 6 – Oct 30)

December. (Dec 1 – Dec 26)

February. (Feb 2 – Feb 26)

April. (Abr 6 – Abr 30)

June. (Jun 2 – Jun 27)

The courses will have 16 hours / lessons per week. Each hour / lesson lasts 45 minutes. That makes a total of 64 hours / lessons per month. From the total of 64 hours / lessons, some will be with the presence of the professor and others do not. This includes tasks, visit to museums and places of interest etc.

Classes will be on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Classes will be from 9:00 AM a 12:00 PM or from 1:00 PM a 4:00 PM as the Department of Socio Cultural studies states for every specific course.

The students should include the following personal information in their application.

Name:
Surname:
Sex:
Place of birth
Date of birth:

Course and level desired.

Once the above information is sent, a confirmation of studies letter will be sent to the students. This letter should be printed and presented by the students when they arrive to our university.

All the interested persons should arrive in our country having a student visa.

This visa will be processed once the student is accepted by the academic area and sent to the Cuban embassy located in the country of the student. It will be valid during 30 days after the arrival of the student in our country. If the studies require more than 30 days, this visa should be extended.

In an exceptional way, the interested ones could arrive in the country with a tourist visa. Once accepted by the academic area a member of our staff will only change it into student visa. In these cases the immigration authorities in the country reserve the right of their approval.

All the processes in relation with visas are done at the local immigration office. They all require a certain fee in stamps bought at a certain bank in CUC (Cuban Convertible Peso). To change from Tourist Visa to Student Visa, 40.00 CUC. To extend a Student Visa, 25.00 CUC.

The students should send their application at least with two months in advance before the course starts.

The Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities has the right of admission.

Cost: 340.00 CUC (Cuban Convertible Pesos) to be paid in cash.

The applications should be sent to:
