Studying Spanish requires that the student has first passed the initial proficiency test. The proficiency test is organised once a year at the beginning of the autumn semester to determine that the student has the required prior language skills. To pass the Spanish proficiency test, you must have completed the upper secondary school syllabus (minimum B3 language) in Spanish or possess equivalent knowledge and skills acquired through other means. To be admitted to Spanish studies, students must achieve at least 60% of the maximum score in the test.
