Language Requirements for Studying in Spain at Different Stages
First, language schools.
There is no academic requirement to apply for studying in Spain, because this is only a place for language training. No matter what stage the student affairs office is in, you can apply without affecting the final result.
But in terms of language, there will be clear requirements. Students need to have a certain language foundation, learn Spanish for at least 500 hours in China, and ensure a training foundation.
Second, undergraduate course
To apply for an undergraduate course, everyone needs to complete high school and provide qualified GPA scores. At present, the standard is above 3.0, and no subjects can fail.
Spanish level must be at least B2 before you can 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 6.0.
Third, a master's degree.
You can only apply for a master's degree after completing undergraduate studies or other phased studies with the same academic level. There will also be requirements for your average score, which needs to be around 3.5 to be competitive.
If you choose to teach in English, you need to show an IELTS score of about 6.5. If you choose to teach in Spanish, then everyone's entrance language level should be above B2.
Fourth, doctors.
However, applying for a doctorate has played down the requirements for academic qualifications and language. Of course, this is not to say that these are unimportant, but that everyone needs to pay more attention to their own abilities and research results and show their personal level.
Completed the master's study, and had bright results, which was favored by the tutor.

1, don't be ashamed to ask
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.
Asking questions often can not only let the teacher know your difficulties in learning, but also let the teacher know your progress. This kind of interactive teaching is also very popular with Spanish teachers. Asking and answering questions will make the classroom atmosphere more active.
2. Call the teacher by his first name
This is probably the most surprising thing for China students. In Spain, students can call their teachers by their first names without honorifics. China students will wonder, isn't this disrespectful to teachers? Actually, the Spanish teacher doesn't think so. They prefer to communicate with students as friends, rather than being aloof. They teach hard, but they like to mingle with their classmates.
3. Make full use of extracurricular tutoring
After-school tutoring has been very popular with Spanish students since childhood. Every teacher will have a special after-school tutoring schedule, as long as you can make an appointment with the 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 problems in class, some troubles in school life, or just want to talk to the teacher about your learning process.
Almost everyone in Spain has made countless appointments for after-school tutoring. In contrast, China students don't have this habit, so they seldom make an appointment for after-school tutoring. This 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 teaching material, and each teacher's teaching method is unique. At first, it was difficult for China students to adapt to this. At this time, you can use some gadgets:
Recording pen: Students can take a recording pen and put it on the table. After returning home, they can listen to the class patiently for several times, which will not only help you master the knowledge in class, but also greatly improve your listening. (PS。 You need to ask the teacher for permission in advance to record ~)
Copying classmates' notes: It is also common for Spanish students to borrow notes from each other. You can borrow a note from your classmates after class, copy it directly in the school copy room, and read it slowly at home.
In addition, teachers usually upload classroom materials and courseware on the school's online campus, and students can download and review after class.
5. Be brave to express your ideas.
When you and your teacher have different views on a problem, you can tell your teacher what you think. Especially in the process of discussing the paper, 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. He will argue with you. If you can persuade him, he will admit your point of view and may say "bravo" to you to praise your good idea.
6. Rich extracurricular activities
Don't be a nerd when you come to Spain. 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 all know that rich extracurricular activities can improve students' social skills and team consciousness, and promote students' social integration, which is an indispensable part of campus life.
In fact, on the whole, the Spanish teacher is quite friendly and humanized, and your efforts will definitely be seen and affirmed. After challenging myself again and again, I believe that the road to studying abroad will become smoother and more confident!
