For Whom are these Courses Best Suited

Spanish courses at a university in Spain can especially be recommended to students who are planning to study for a longer period of time (although most universities today also offer short-term courses) or for whom it is important to get a diploma from a recognised university.

The main differences between the courses arranged by a university and courses arranged by a private school are:

  • The Classes - the qualification of teachers is the same in private schools and universities but as the number of students per class is normally much lower in a private school the students learn faster and get more individual attention from the teacher.
  • The Service - a private school offers far more free-time activities and excursions, the facilities are in general of a more modern standard and the administration is more professional.
  • The Price - the course fees are normally much lower at universities, especially for long-term courses.
  • The Diploma - you will always receive a diploma when you have finished your Spanish course but in the opinion of many (students, parents and employers) a university course and diploma has more prestige.

If you are planning to study for a longer period the main advantages of a private school (service and classes) becomes less important. The reason for this is that students have more time to experience Spain and the Spanish culture on their own (they do not need so many free time activities arranged) and as they are staying a long time they will learn Spanish not only from studying in class but also from living in the country.

There is a big difference in the Spanish courses arranged by the many universities in Spain. We can highly recommend Alicante University, Autonomous Barcelona University, Malaga University, Antonio Nebrija Madrid, Santiago de Compostela and Salamanca University. These universities offer a wide range of courses throughout the year and we have had very good feed back from students about their Spanish courses whereas at universities like Complutense University of Madrid and Granada University our former students have been less satisfied.
