Spanish Courses in a University in Spain
|
The Spanish courses at public universities are very popular among
students between 18-30 years old and who are planning to study Spanish
for a longer period.
Below you can find further information about the Spanish courses
arranged by different universities in Spain, who this type of course
can be recommended to and information about what to expect of this
type of course.
|
About the Spanish Courses |
The Spanish courses at the public universities are difficult to
describe under one group, as they are very different in both standards
and type of courses offered.
Some universities clearly do not spend much resources on their Spanish
courses and only offer one standard long-term course, whereas other
universities are almost just as professional as the private schools
in both the quantity and quality of courses and services offered.
Traditionally Spanish courses at public universities have been long-term
courses following the academic year in either 2 or 3 semester courses
and with few options to choose from. This has today changed as many
universities offer both short-term courses and courses during the
summer. Some universities also offer different options regarding
both the number of hours to study and the choice of to choosing
between more specialized subjects like Spanish history, business
Spanish or Spanish art for students with a higher level of the language.
Many of the universities offering Spanish courses have as mentioned
above, improved a lot but the service is still far from perfect.
To mention a few details students should be aware of before choosing
this type of course, there are few free-time activities arranged,
there are many students per class, lack of published information
about the courses, a complicated reservation process and do not
be surprised if there is no one who speaks no languages other than
Spanish in the main office at the Spanish courses.
There are of course also many positive facts about choosing a university
such as being part of campus life, meeting Spanish students, having
access to university facilities and you will also get a diploma
from a university (and not some private school that might not be
known back in your home country).
Regarding the teaching method at universities, it is normally different
from that offered by the private schools as there are for one, on
average more students per class. This makes it necessary to concentrate
on group teaching instead of more individual-based and makes it
more difficult to focus on a communicative/interactive approach.
|
For Whom are
these Courses Best Suited |
University courses can especially be recommended to students who
are planning to study for a longer period of time 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 has 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.
