What Are The Spanish Level Tests Required To Study In Spain?

Foreign students wishing to study in Spain, should not inevitably prove their level of Spanish in order to be able to travel to Spain. Indeed, all Spanish universities do not require a proof of the level of the student in Spanish, which means that you can travelto Spain to follow a program of study there even if your level of Spaish language is low. A decade ago, the best students were able to leave for Spain via Erasmus program without having to speak Spanish, although this practice is no longer wide-spread today.

In case, a university in Spain askes you to provide an evidence of your level of Spanish, you have two ways to do that. You either take an internal test at the university you wish to apply to, or take theDELE test, which is the international test of Spanish organized by Cervantès institute.

A- Taking an internal test of Spanish at a Spanish university:

The first way to prove your level of Spanish, is to take an internal test at the university. The major inconvenience of this test is that the student has to move up to the university in Spain, in order to take a test, which will last only for one afternoon, but, on the other hand, it is also an excellent way to acquaint with your future university and with the city. Certain universities in Spain nowadays propose tests administered via internet or by video conference to make sure of your level in a more practical way.

B- Taking the DELE test of Spanish:

The second way to show proof of your Spanish level is taking the DELE test, which is recognized all over the world, and approving in an official way your level of Spanish on a scale by counting six. For French students, who are wish to study in Spain, there is a test center in Paris, but, contrary to the Anglo-Saxon tests, the sessions are rather rare, with an average of 3 sessions a year. Thus, try to register yourself as early as possible.
