With the fall of the Spanish dictatorship in 1975 Spain has embarked in a successful journey of freedom and democracy in which Universities have played a major role. Spain hosts a number of fine Universities and Research Institutes and is a popular destination for Italian Erasmus students, not least because the Spanish life pattern is probably close enough to the Italian one. College is detemined to implement a Spanish Course in order to ensure that Volta students moving to Spain make the best of their time of study there.
The Course will be set at the standard required by the best Spanish Universities (the standard of language required differs at different Universities) and interested in the Course will be advised to take an online entrance test, such as the Spanish Placement Test offered by Oxford University that provides reliable and useful information about a student's entry level.
Every student at Volta is expected to study a language and currently has a choice of English (3 levels), French (1 level) and German (1 level). Enrolment fee for all Language Courses at Volta for 2017/18 is expected to be € 100 per Course.
