The study of university majors includes a preparatory course of one year, in
order for the not Spanish- speaking students to learn the language. Teaching
Spanish is a responsibility of the Preparatory Faculties of the Ministry of
Higher Education, which have created the necessary conditions to carry out
the activities.
In addition to learning Spanish, the preparatory course students take
leveling courses in basic disciplines related to the majors they will study.
Said courses prepare them in a series of general disciplines that allow them
to face the university studies with a better preparation. By the end of the
preparatory course, the students that are able to pass will receive a
certificate upon completion of studies.
