For more than 45 years, ETB has received students from all over the world who come to spend a period of their academic training with us. Every effort is made to integrate international students into daily university life. In the majority of programmes, they attend classes side-by-side with Spanish students. Students can take courses in the area of Tourism, or take only courses in Spanish Language and Culture to enhance their level of Spanish. International students are students in their own right at ETB. They have access to all activities and general services (librarie, computer labs, workplacement, etc.) and all extra-curricular activities as well.

ETB is an excellent choice because:

-We boast  45 years’ experience since our first course taught in February 1964.
-We have trained over 20,000 students from 30 countries.
-We count with over 500 national and international tourist companies who supervise our students’ training placements, frequently becoming their employers after graduation.
-We have signed co-operation agreements in tourism training with more than 21 universities from different countries.
-We offer more than 50 different specialized vocational-training programs approved by the Spanish Government, the Balearic Government and other public institutions.
