At the center of the historic city of Santiago de Compostela<\/strong>, sits one of the oldest universities in the world.<\/p>\r\n

And the city and surrounding region of Galicia is a hugely popular tourist location.<\/p>\r\n

Especially as it is the ultimate destination on a world-famous pilgrim route.<\/p>\r\n

So it may not come as a surprise that it attracts large numbers of international students.<\/p>\r\n

And for many of those students, choosing University of Santiago de Compostela Spanish Courses is the start of their exciting learning journey.<\/p>\r\n

Spanish Courses at the University of Santiago de Compostela take place in their specially designated Modern Language Centre<\/strong> (CLM).<\/p>\r\n

This means students feel part of the university proper but are also suitably supported in the right environment.<\/p>\r\n

But picking the right course for you is important<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

So let’s look at the Spanish courses you can choose from at the University of Santiago de Compostela.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What University of Santiago de Compostela Spanish Courses Can I Take?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Firstly, it’s important to understand how all the courses for international students<\/strong> are organized at USC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So if you’d like to improve your Spanish language fluency<\/strong>, getting the right level of challenge and support is essential.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To make sure your learning is effective, all courses are based according to the European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)<\/strong> levels.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And if that’s a new concept to you, it’s pretty simple:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You take a test just before your course and your level will indicate the best class<\/strong> for you to attend.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Here are the CEFR levels for you to check out!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

If you look at the basic descriptors above, you may already be able to tell which level<\/strong> you are at.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All the courses are accredited by the prestigious Instituto Cervantes<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

This means your teaching and learning experience is guaranteed to be of a high standard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now let’s look in more detail at the different courses<\/strong> on offer at the University of Santiago de Compostela.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

University of Santiago de Compostela Spanish Courses<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For international students learning Spanish as a foreign language, the Modern Language Center <\/a>(CLM) offers two types of courses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Semester Courses at the University of Santiago de Compostela.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The semester courses are naturally designed for those who want a longer-term<\/strong> approach which will help them develop their Spanish language fluency considerably.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Courses at CLM take a communicative approach to language learning. So if you choose this type of course you’ll be learning actively<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Students want to improve all aspects<\/strong> of their Spanish, so you should expect to improve both spoken and written communication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This way, you can take further Spanish language courses to move up the CEFR levels or to prepare you for undergraduate study<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And you may want to continue your studies<\/strong> at the University of Santiago de Compostela or another Spanish university. If that’s the case, the semester course is the perfect fit for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let’s look at the course details:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Course<\/strong><\/td>\r\nCourse Dates<\/strong><\/td>\r\nCEFR Level<\/strong><\/td>\r\n Cost<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Semester 1<\/td>\r\nSeptember to December<\/td>\r\nA1, A2, B1, B2, C1<\/td>\r\nOn request<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
Semester 2<\/td>\r\nFebruary to May<\/td>\r\nA2, B1, B2, C1, C2<\/td>\r\nOn request<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Each semester you will undertake 100 hours of study. This will be 40 hours of face-to-face<\/strong> teaching and 60 hours of private study.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Classes take place Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays. And the class time is 1 hour and 30 minutes per session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This way, you can either fit this course around your other studies or activities. Plus, you’ll have plenty of time<\/strong> left to explore the delightful city of Santiago or the wider region of Galicia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Intensive Courses at the University of Santiago de Compostela.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You may have less time to study Spanish at the University of Santiago de Compostela. But you still want a great teaching and learning experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If that sounds like you, take an Intensive Course at<\/strong> the CLM.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Like the semester courses, you will be expected to study for 100 hours. This includes 40 hours of face-to-face teaching and 60 hours where you’re expected to work independently. But this time, the sessions are longer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Each week you will take lessons totaling 6 hours in class. That’s two sessions of 3 hours per day<\/strong>. Each session is split into two classes of an hour and a half.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can choose<\/strong> from sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, let’s look at the course details:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Should I Know Before Starting Any University of Santiago de Compostela Spanish Courses?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

\"University<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Before taking University of Santiago de Compostela Spanish Courses, you’ll need to be sorted<\/strong> into your CEFR level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To do this you’ll need to register for a placement test<\/strong>, which can be done completely online. You don’t need to do the test if you are an A1-level student, though!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You will gain a course certificate at the end of your studies. But this is dependent on you attending 80% of your classes<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And you may receive your attainment certificate<\/strong> if you have taken the evaluation test for your CEFR level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Course fees are available on request. But if you’d like help with finding out<\/strong> more or help enrolling on University of Santiago de Compostela Spanish Courses, the Go! Go! Espa\u00f1a team can help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What Certificates Could I Get at the End of My Studies at USC?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Modern Languages Center (Centro de Lenguas Modernas<\/strong>) is a highly accredited examination center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, students can take the DELE<\/strong> (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language) at the university.<\/p>\r\n

And they can also take the SIELE<\/strong> IBT (International Spanish Language Evaluation Service).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you are an international student who wants to continue your studies<\/strong> at undergraduate level or take a postgraduate degree, you may want a certificate to prove your language ability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And if you haven’t got a DELE or equivalent certificate, you can take a B1 and B2 Spanish language certification exam which is organized by the CLM.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Studying abroad can be the most exciting time of your life<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n
