Before arriving to Barcelona

Once you have read all the information in this website, you must:

1. Contact your tutor to prepare your Learning Agreement

2. Take the spanish test

Enrolment in certain subjects is dependent on students' knowledge of Spanish. The level of Spanish is determined by the University's own assessment test which is taken before students enrol.

Spanish Test

Students are grouped according to the level of their Spanish Language Knowledge:

  • Spanish Language: Intermediate (A2- B1.1; B1.2)
  • Spanish Language: Advanced (B2.1- B2.2)
  • Spanish Language: Superior (B2+)
  • Students whose level is above C1 are not obliged to take Spanish Language classes in the course in «Languages and Cultures in Contemporary Spain»

The specific content in the Spanish Language courses will depend on the needs detected by the teacher at the beginning of each course and will therefore vary slightly each course and in each class. To give an overview, the content in language classes matches the following levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages:

Subject

It is very important to keep in mind that the information on the teaching language is orientative and may vary each year depending on the professor who teaches the subject. It is therefore necessary that, before enrolling in a course, you check the course offer in this link.
