University Preparation

Estudio Sampere will have a new programme during 2011 to offer all students the
possibility of entering the Spanish Educational System.

This programme includes:

Spanish intensive course for minimum 12 weeks up to level B1.
30 weeks of “University Foundation Course”.
Registration for Selectividad Exam.
Academic support during all the courses.
Spanish public universities have very affordable fees (Medicine €1300/year, Business
€800/year) and have available places in most of the offered Bologna study programmes
(4 years of studies except for Medicine and Engineering). Your students can easily
access a Spanish public university following this programme.

Language Training

Estudio Sampere will take care of this part of the programme and students must reach
an upper intermediate level (B1) before joining the University Foundation Course.
Selectividad is the name of the exam that all Spanish and foreign students have to
take in order to gain access to the different universities. The exam takes place each
year in June and September. We strongly advise students to take the June exam.
Only if they fail, should they consider the option of taking the exam in September.

To take the exam, students must have:

A high school degree from their country (recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Education).
18 years of age during that year.
B2 Spanish Level.
D type Visa (more than 90 days of stay).
