About the intensive Spanish language component (A1–B1)

Intensive Spanish courses cover A1–B1 in 4 months (September–December or January–July). If you prefer a slower pace, you can do a full 1-year Spanish course first to reach B1, then join the university preparation programme the following year as a B1+ student.

Part-Time / Extensive Courses

For students preparing specific subjects only. Spanish B1+ or native Spanish required.
