What do our students think about the University pathway programme?
Elena Borisova
I had to dedicate a lot of time to Spanish learning and got C1 level to be able to study translation, and then also did PCE preparatory course that took me additional six months. Thanks to this course, my average score was one of the best and I was accepted to few good public universities. I chose the oldest university of Spain, in Salamanca. If you want to invest in your future, choose University Pathway at Españolé Ih.
Antonina Mazur
I did not have any doubt that I would choose to prepare for university entrance in IH Valencia. I was given clear instructions on the exams and also a list of documets needed to apply. At first I took a Spanish course until I got B2 and did DELE exam with no efforts, then I prepared for 4 exams on subjects and passed them successfully. At the moment I study at the University of Valencia which actually proves the efficiency of the programme University Pathway.
Momoko Iwakami
I did a university entrance course in Españolé. It was a combined course, general Spanish + specific preparation for university entrance. After the Spanish course, I went to an academy to prepare for the PCE. It was a completely different course from the one I had given in Españolé. In Españolé we worked a lot in groups and the classes at the other place were individual, if I didn't understand something I had private lessons with my teacher. If I had not learned Spanish, it would have been difficult to understand the different subjects. Although I speak Spanish every day outside of class, I speak less frequently than when I was in Spanish school. However, I am able to study my subjects because I study at my own pace and because the teachers are experienced, they help me. I got into university and I am studying architecture, which is what I wanted.
