A city where history, beauty,
and the gospel collide.
Picture waking up in a city of narrow white streets and orange trees, with a Moorish palace on the hill and the Sierra Nevada rising behind it. That's Granada, in southern Spain, and it's where you'll spend your 12-week lecture phase.
Granada was the last Moorish kingdom in Spain. When it fell in 1492, nearly 800 years of Islamic rule on the peninsula came to an end. You can still see that history everywhere: in the buildings, the food, the tea shops of the Albaicín and the people. It's a meeting point between Europe and North Africa, and you'll feel it walking down the street.
That makes Granada a great place to learn cross-cultural ministry by doing it. You'll talk with students on campus, meet people in the markets and neighborhoods, and learn how to build real friendships with Muslim neighbors and share Jesus with them respectfully.
On your days off, the Sierra Nevada is just outside the city for hiking and skiing, the Mediterranean coast is about an hour away, and the Alhambra is right down the road. September to November is also one of the best times of year to be here: long, warm days slowly settling into a golden Andalusian autumn, with the first snow often back on the Sierra Nevada by November.
Gateway to the Muslim World
A visible Muslim community and daily links to North Africa. Cross-cultural ministry happens on your doorstep, with full freedom to share your faith.
Major University City
Tens of thousands of students, a large international community, and plenty of people happy to talk about life, meaning and faith.
Mediterranean Coast, 1 Hour Away
Beaches, small white villages and Andalusian sunshine for your free days.
Sierra Nevada Mountains
Europe's southernmost ski resort, with hiking trails and views that make it easy to worship.
The school has
two phases.
Your 20 weeks, from your first morning in Granada to your last day on outreach.
Lecture Phase
For 12 weeks you'll be challenged to go deeper in your relationship with God while learning more about who He is, His heart for the nations, and your part in sharing His love with the world. All teaching is in English and Spanish.
DTS Topics Include:
Daily Life Includes:
Outreach Phase
We form teams and travel to different destinations for eight weeks of outreach. This is where you put everything you've learned into practice, serving local churches and sharing God's love among the nations.
"The classroom is where the DTS starts. Outreach is where it comes to life."
Outreach location will be confirmed with enrolled students. Past teams have gone to North Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.
Receive your University of the Nations certificate, celebrate with your team, and head into the new year knowing your next step.
Ministry in real life
This is what an ordinary week can look like, in Granada and on outreach.
