administrative center of Asturias.
Located at the heart of the region, Oviedo has over 200,000 inhabitants.
Furthermore, the city features a wide range of parks and gardens, which are included in its 1,000,000
m2 of green areas.
Oviedo’s historic center is beautiful and very well preserved, and most of it is pedestrian friendly.
Oviedo is an open and cosmopolitan city, which is also safe and offers a wide variety of tourist
attractions.
Oviedo University dates back from the 17th century and is one of the most representative universities
in Spain. That is the reason why Oviedo is the major university center in Asturias, hosting hundreds of

OVIDA is located right next to the Hospital and the University and features more than 34,000 square
metres of gross area. OVIDA’s objective is to provide the Principality of Asturias with a highly innovative
residential model aimed at promoting intergenerational exchanges to strengthen the development
of essential traditional values, such us coexistence, respect, solidarity and dialogue; the generation
of training opportunities and educational and leisure activities; the cultural exchange and, in short,
participation and social integration.
OVIDA offers a Student Hall of Residence, where young people live together.
Besides providing residents the best that can be offered in terms of services, they have a unique range
of facilities intended to meet all today’s students needs.
Respect for others and camaraderie are the core values of their living experience. During this first year,
OVIDA has been called home by a good number of students, who lived far from their families.
It is nearly impossible to find a hall of residence in Spain that offers the facilities and services that OVIDA
Halls does.
They are extremely proud to be able to make this statement without fear of exaggeration. They know
that it is a fact and so do the students who already live with them, and their families.
The Hall features single and double rooms situated over three floors, each of which has common
areas. Every floor has a study room, a TV and reading room, vending machines and a fully equipped
laundry for washing and ironing your own clothes.
OVIDA hall provides an ‘all inclusive’ service with all the facilities you would expect to find in a hotel.
Besides that, OVIDA has a very specific goal, which is to promote interactions between the different
generations living together in OVIDA. Programs and activities will be organized to benefit both
generations and to bring them closer together. Students can take part in these activities on a voluntary
basis.
On the other hand, Professional Training is also available at OVIDA. This training has a strong integrational
element allowing students to continuously acquire and refresh skills and competencies in the healthcare
field.
OVIDA features modern facilities, coupled with areas for the sole use of students and resident medical
interns.

SPECIFIC COURSES FOR STUDENTS FROM INDIA
Objectives:
Ovida, together with Mundidiomas, designs both general and tailor-made courses. All courses are
focused on communication skills. That is the reason why students are asked to participate and show
interest in both classroom activities and assignments to be done in students’ own time. Our objective
is to provide students with the necessary skills to be able to speak and write fluently and naturally,
using proper grammar. At the same time, we want students to make the most of the classes and enjoy
their stay in our homeland.
Syllabus:
The contents included in our study programs are based on the CEFR for learning Spanish as a foreign
language. On the other hand, language skills (including oral comprehension, oral expression,
pronunciation and prosody, written comprehension and written expression), pragmatic strategies and
sociocultural behaviours are also taken into account.
