Description

Erasmus students who, during their stay at the Complutense University, wish to improve their level of Spanish, can enrol in one of the two free Spanish courses for Erasmus students. These courses are offered at the beginning of each semester by the Centro Complutense para la Enseñanza del Español (CCEE).

The courses are aimed at students with a level up to A1-B2 and are structured in different levels. The level of each student will be determined at the beginning of each term, by means of a compulsory placement test. However, it is recommended that all Erasmus students have at least a B1 level before their arrival in Madrid, in order to achieve a better academic performance during their stay at UCM.

Students with a C1 or C2 level can opt for other courses at the CCEE, with special prices for Erasmus students. More information about Spanish courses on the CCEE website.

The next course will take place in July 2023 in online mode. Only Erasmus students who come to study at the Complutense University during the academic year 2023-2024 and who have a level lower than C1 can take this course. The only requirement to enrol in the course is to apply online as a future Erasmus student at UCM.
