Since its founding mission, UAH has been conceived as an institution with a strong vocation for public service.

The main language of instruction at UAH is Spanish. Students are required to have B1 equivalent Spanish or four semesters of Spanish to complete a semester exchange at UAH.

UAH offers an intensive 48-hr Spanish programme over three or four weeks, organised by professors specialising in the teaching of Spanish to non-native speakers. A pre-semester Intensive Spanish Programme is also available for exchange students interested in improving their language
proficiency.

UAH also maintains a close relationship with several North American institutions belonging to the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) network and became part of the Latin American Network of Social Engagement and University Volunteering (REDIVU).
