Foundation Year in Spain – University Preparation Program
The Foundation Year is a comprehensive preparatory program designed for international and non-Spanish-speaking students who wish to study at a Spanish university (if you speak Spanish click here). It is aimed at students who have already completed their secondary education abroad and need a preparatory year to improve their Spanish and prepare for the public university entrance exam in Spain.
Throughout this Foundation Year, students will strengthen their academic knowledge, become familiar with the Spanish education system, and prepare for the PCE exams (Specific Competency Tests) by UNEDasiss, which are required by most Spanish public universities for students with foreign diplomas.
The program also guides students through practical matters such as academic orientation and university admission procedures, ensuring they are fully prepared to enter higher education in Spain with confidence.
