The aim of these courses is that you can start learning or improving your knowledge in Spanish to help you getting on, both in your academic and personal life, during your stay here at the University of the Basque Country (EHU). We want you to make the most of the time you will be here and, for that, we offer you a 45 hour intensive course that you will be able to follow online before coming to the Basque Country.

Important: students are not allowed to enter/log in the platform of the classes if they have not received a confirmation e-mail from the organizers. Registered students entering in class without being authorized, will accumulate absences/missing days that might affect the way they will be evaluated.

Places of this course will be assigned strictly by order of registration.

We inform students taking part in this online course that it is absolutely forbidden to pass or exchange the links of the form to take the level test or the ones to enter in the platform of the classes to other students without the express consent of the language courses office, being this a possible cause of expulsion of the students involved.

Level test

Spanish intensive course´s level test will be held online and will be used to determine the most suitable group/level for each student.

Students registered within the deadline to do so (before 16 August) will receive an email containing two forms: one for those with no knowledge of Spanish who wish to be placed in a beginner’s group starting from scratch, and another for those who do have some knowledge of Spanish and wish to take a level test.

On both forms, students will need to provide their personal details and then, depending on their situation, take the level test or not. When providing their personal details, students should bear in mind that the email address they provide will be used to send them all information relating to the classes.

The form and the test must be completed before 19 August.

The registration of students not taking the level test or informing us about their level within the deadline (19 August) will be cancelled.

We kindly ask students to pay attention to their e-mail, including the spam folder, just in case our e-mails arrive there.

We remind students taking part in this online course that it is absolutely forbidden to pass or exchange the links to the form to take the level test to other students without the express consent of the language courses office, being this a possible cause of expulsion of the students involved. It is also forbidden to pass or exchange the links of the classes to other students without the express consent of the Language Courses office.
