Contact between lecturers and students is an important part of the ASCENSO philosophy. This ensures that individual learners’ needs are met. Various studies show that teacher-centred instruction contributes little to learning success. For this reason, our courses are based on modern teaching methods: starting from theoretical concepts, you will deepen your knowledge through real, practical hands-on application during projects, discussions, case studies or team tasks. Regular, organized visits to hotels, tourist companies, cruise ships, sports clubs, event agencies and locations form part of our standard study components.
In small groups, you can get to know your fellow students quickly and make friends at the beginning of your studies.
In addition to your studies, you can take an optional Spanish course at ASCENSO Academy. This prepares you for the internationally recognized Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) granted by the Spanish Instituto Cervantes. The DELE levels (A1-C2) correspond to the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR) similar to Cambridge English Qualifications, or the French DELF.
Studying Spanish in Spain offers you a significant advantage: you can apply what you learn directly in everyday life.
Taking the DELE exam, could give you an internationally-recognised language qualification when you graduate from ASCENSO.
Choosing to study abroad is beneficial for both your personal and professional development.
