Spaniards! Are there spanish students in here?

Hi! I've been living in England for almost a year now. I'm studying an Access Course into University (I didn't do Bachillerato) and hoping to start next year in University of East Anglia. Anyone around here? Haven't met Spanish people at all since I arrived :smile:

Hello all!
I'm just completing my UCAS application and I don't feel 100% sure, wether I need to put my ESO grades (which are terribly lower than bachillerato...).
Any advice?

thanks!!!

Ah, god, the UCAS application! How is it going for you? It feels sooo different from the Spanish system, doesn't it?

I'm starting with my personal statement, feeling pretty confident right now. Ya veremos cómo va.

Este año voy a empezar. Voy a ir a Leeds.

I've been to Leeds and liked it. A LOT of students everywhere. Además dormí en un apartamento enfrente de la universidad de medicina, justo en el centro de Leeds y la atmósfera me enamoro. Ahora, prepárate para pasar frío. :eek:

Well, It's getting on my nerves, actually. Yesterday I submitted my application *smile* but now I find out I have to fill a specific form for Cambridge... gosh... :s-smilie:

Otra preguntita que me esta matando :biggrin:

hice el ielts hace un año y saqué 7.5 overall pero con un maldito 6.0 en el writing y necesito subirlo a un 7.
Alguien sabe cuanto tiempo me haría falta para conseguirlo? y podríais recomendarme alguna academia en uk o en Zaragoza para hacer el curso del IELTS?

muchas gracias!!!!

Estáis en la uni? Cómo os va, encontráis muchas diferencias con el sistema educativo español? Yo tengo dos condicionales de las universidades en las que estoy interesada y si nada va mal empiezo este septiembre! UEA o Leeds, probablemente UEA si obtengo las notas :smile:

A parte, como española, encontré toda una odisea el sistema para aplicar a la universidad, nunca he visto nada igual! Y vi a mis dos hermanos hacer selectividad en el mismo año.

Hello!! I'm from Canada and would love to study a semester in Spain! I'm going into nursing this fall and would like to plan ahead .
What universities teach in English that you recommend ?
I know of SLU
and I think Universidad Complutense de Madrid does too but not too sure their site isn't very helpful.

I'm not sure about Complutense, but I don't think they teach in English. However, they do in Universidad Europea de Madrid (http://www.uem.es/en). All the Erasmus students I've met from Ireland and the UK are studying there.

It's a European exchange program..basically you spend either one semester or a whole academic year in another country in Europe, although some people spend each semester in different countries. Yeah everybody loves it here :smile:

I even know an Irish guy who came for one semester and he liked it so much that he asked for an extension :smile:

Oh, but then I can't do that since I'm from Canada :frown:

do you know of any universities that would teach nursing courses in English ?

Thanks 😊

Well, I only mentioned Erasmus because the international students I've met so far are from Europe and they're in Spain thanks to the Erasmus program, but there are other types of exchange programs between America and Europe, you should ask in you home University whether there is any type of agreement between your uni and the UEM.

I think courses might be taught in English in this other uni http://www.upcomillas.es/eng/estudios/estudiar_Grado_ENF.aspx?idIdioma=ENG but I'm not sure so just send them an e-mail to find out :smile:

Yo estudié en UK toda la carrera.. y es muy diferente al sistema español. Cada vez que volvía a casa veía como todos mis amigos estaban estresados con exámenes, trabajos.. etc. En UK es más tranquilo, menos clases pero, más trabajo individual. El primer año no te cuentan las notas tan solo tienes que aprobar con un 40% ( el máx. suele estar "capped" a 70-75%, depende de la universidad y de tu carrera) Exámenes una vez al año y más tiempo de vacaciones.. por ejemplo, en vez de diez días en semana santa te dan un mes. A mi me encanto la experiencia.
