Language requirements at different stages of studying in Spain

1. Language schools

There is no academic requirement for applying to study in Spain, because this is only a place for language training, and students can apply at any stage, and it will not affect the final result.

However, in terms of language, there will be clear requirements. Students need to have a certain language foundation, and they must learn Spanish for at least 511 class hours in China before they can guarantee the foundation for training.

second, undergraduate

to apply for undergraduate courses, everyone needs to complete high school studies, and also need to provide qualified GPA scores. At present, the standard is above 3.1 points, and there can be no subjects that fail.

Only when the level of Spanish is at least B2 can you enter the school directly. If not, you can only receive language training first. Of course, you can also choose the major of English teaching, and the IELTS score provided should be above 6.1.

III. Master

Only after you have completed the undergraduate study or other stages of study with equivalent academic qualifications can you apply for the master's course. There will also be requirements for your average score, and you need to be around 3.5 to be competitive.

If you choose to teach in English, you need to show your IELTS score of around 6.5. If you choose to teach in Spanish, then everyone's entrance language level should be above B2.

IV. Doctoral degree

The application for doctoral degree downplays the requirements for academic qualifications and language. Of course, it is not that these are unimportant, but that everyone needs to pay more attention to their own abilities and research results and show their personal level.

I have completed my master's study, and I have made brilliant achievements, which won the favor of my tutor.

1. Don't be shy about asking questions

Spanish teachers have no preference for smart students, and they are more willing to help hard-working students. So when you don't understand or wonder in class, don't hesitate to ask the teacher directly. The Spanish teacher will reply patiently and will recognize your enthusiasm for learning.

Frequently asking questions can not only let the teacher know the difficulties in your study, but also let the teacher know your progress. This kind of interactive teaching is also very popular among Spanish teachers. Asking and answering questions will make the classroom atmosphere more active.

2. Calling teachers by their first names

is probably the most surprising thing for China students. In Spain, students can call their teachers by their first names without honorific titles. China Students' Union wondered, isn't this disrespectful to teachers? In fact, Spanish teachers don't think so. They prefer to communicate with their students as friends rather than being above them. They teach hard, but they like to mingle with their classmates.

3. Make full use of Tutoría (after-school tutoring)

After-school tutoring is very popular among Spanish students since childhood. Every teacher will have a special timetable for after-school tutoring, as long as you can make an appointment with your teacher at will during this time period, and then conduct one-on-one after-school tutoring. After-school tutoring can include many things, such as unresolved questions in class, some troubles to school life, or just want to communicate with your teacher about your learning process.

Almost everyone in Spain has made numerous appointments for after-school tutoring. In contrast, China students don't have this habit, so they seldom make an appointment for after-school tutoring, which is actually a good opportunity to communicate with teachers and make up lessons for free.

4. Notes are really important

In Spanish universities, there is no unified textbook, and each teacher's teaching method is sui generis. It is difficult for China students to adapt to this at first. At this time, you can use some gadgets:

Recording pen: Students can put a recording pen on the table and listen to the class patiently for several times after going home, which not only helps you master the knowledge in class, but also greatly improves your listening ability. (PS. Recording requires the teacher's permission in advance ~)

Copying classmates' notes: It is also very common for Spanish students to borrow notes from each other. You can borrow a note from your classmates after class and copy it directly in the school copy room, so that you can go home and read it slowly.

In addition, teachers usually upload class materials and courseware on the online campus of the school, which students can download to review after class.

5. Have the courage to express your thoughts

When you have different opinions with your teacher on a question, you can tell your opinion to the teacher. Especially in the process of discussing papers, when you disagree with the teacher, you can have a "debate".

This is normal in Spain. Spanish teachers will not stifle students' creativity and freedom of speech. They will argue with you. If you can convince him, he will admit your point of view and probably say "bravo" to you to praise your good idea.

6. Rich extracurricular activities

When you come to Spain, don't be a nerd who stays at home. The campus activities in Spain are very rich, with various student gatherings and sports meetings. Teachers also support students to participate in various healthy extracurricular activities. Teachers in Spain know that rich extracurricular activities can improve students' social skills, team awareness and promote students' social integration, which is an indispensable part of campus life.

In fact, on the whole, the Spanish teachers are quite friendly and humanized, and your efforts will certainly be seen and affirmed. After challenging yourself again and again, I believe that you will become smoother and more confident in studying abroad!
