Due to the Bologna Process requisites, university students need to prove their language competence at different stages and for many purposes such as Erasmus mobility, graduating, entrance to master programmes, among others.
Las personas que acabamos la carrera hace años, antes de implementar el examen para los que realizan el grado, puede que no lo tengamos, así que se hace necesario tener una certificación B1 después de acabar los estudios y B2 en caso de seguir cursándolos.
While a degree and complementary courses can open doors, a B1 certificate in English can be an equally important part of your pitch for employment and further academic training.
In Spain:
- Competency to finish your degree.
In most Spanish Universities students must earn a B1 certification, at least, to graduate. However, certain universities might require a higher level than that.
- Access to a master.
- Extra points in entrance, public exams and promotions.
- Others: B1 enhances your curriculum vitae, is recognised internationally, and prepares candidates for upper grades.
In U.K.:
If you are applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or Naturalisation/Citizenship, the UK Home Office may require you to prove your knowledge of the English language. You can prove it by having an approved English qualification at level B1 (or above) in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
