At Berklee, we understand that supporting your student’s dream of studying abroad also means ensuring that you feel confident and reassured about their experience. Berklee Valencia makes this possible by providing a world-class education in a safe, affordable, and structured environment that fosters creativity and personal and professional growth.

Here’s what you can count on:

  • Stay on track for graduation
    All courses are taught by Berklee faculty and credits apply directly toward degree requirements.
  • Affordable experience:
    Tuition and fees remain the same as in Boston, and your student’s financial aid package is fully transferrable. With Valencia’s lower cost of living, this program is often more affordable than a semester in the U.S.
  • Housing guaranteed
    Every student has their own private studio apartment with kitchen, walking distance from campus and with all amenities (grocery store, pharmacy) within a block of the residence.
  • Safe and supportive environment
    Valencia is one of the safest cities in Europe, giving you peace of mind while your student thrives abroad. In addition, the small campus allows for personalized attention and support.
  • Health and wellness
    Students have access to medical care, counseling, and support services, ensuring their well-being throughout the semester.

We’ll also guide students who require a visa through every step of the process.

Berklee Valencia is more than a semester abroad; it’s a chance for your student to grow personally and academically, while you can rest assured they’re supported every step of the way.
