Entrance to Undergraduate Degrees

This course is designed for non-EU* students who want to enter Spanish University at Undergraduate level and follow a degree course in a Humanities or Science subject.

The exam is approximately the same level as other European university entrance exams such as A-levels, Abitur, Baccalaureat, etc.

The course begins in January with the first 9 weeks of the Hispanic Studies Term II and then for the following 12 weeks it is a dedicated programme preparing for the Selectividad Exam. After the exam you continue studying our Spanish for Academic Purposes course while we help you with your University application. During the first 9 weeks of the course there are also 3 addition tutorial sessions when your course tutor will provide guidance in the extra work you should be doing.

You must take a level test (by e-mail) at the time of booking to know whether you need to take general Spanish prior to the Selectividad starting date or whether you already have the level required.

as a result of the changes in European systems of higher education related to the Bologna Process, Spanish higher education is undergoing changes and we advise that you contact us to check your academic background and the validity of Selectividad for you prior to booking.

You need to decide whether you need Humanities or Science Selectividad. This depends on what subjects you studied in the last years at high school and also what degree you want to take at University.

Subjects after Humanities

translation & interpreting, languages
tourism, journalism, PR, media studies
history, geography, history of art,
philosophy, pyschology
personnel management

Subjects after Science

business management,
architecture, engineering
medicine

Masters and other Post-Graduate Degrees

If you already have an Undergraduate Degree we can help you prepare linguistically for studying in Spanish and as long as you study with us a minimum of 4 months we will advice and help with the paperwork of your University admission.

Our Spanish for Academic Purposes course is designed for those students needing a final high-level linguistic preparation prior to going to University.
