As British universities are not recruiting students more than the government target figure, many applicants will now have to move to other parts of the world for their higher studies. Marbella University in Southern Spain certainly emerges as one of the options for many.

In the recent past United Kingdom (UK) has emerged as one of the most preferred study destinations, with 12 percent rise in application this year alone, hence it was quite obvious for the universities in Britain to increase the number of places available.

However, recent directive has restricted the number of seats, and even with fines imposed by the Higher Education Funding Council for England on university administration in case of over-recruitment. As a result, about 225,000 applicants could face denial after a tough competition in admission.

Thousands of students who did not get their desired course, or who are simply left without a place, are now looking abroad for higher education. With a good higher education opportunity, Marbella University and other private English speaking colleges and universities in Spain are set to gain from this present glooming picture of UK.

Dr. Eduard Schellhammer, President of Marbella University, says, “In recent weeks we have experienced a considerable surge in applications. We welcome recent developments that promise to bring together students from a diverse set of cultural backgrounds and nationalities.”

As a private English speaking institute and considering the acceptability of Marbella and southern Spain among Britons in terms of living, working and holidaying, Marbella University is indeed a good option for those searching for a variety of Bachelor, Master’s and Diploma programmes.

“All our courses are taught in English. Candidates are given the opportunity to absorb a new language as well as Iberian culture, to embrace international work opportunities and enjoy the enhanced lifestyle Marbella has to offer,” Schellhammer further added.

Around 350,000 graduates in UK, who leave universities every year, are now facing hard time in finding jobs, and even many have no option but only to settle for low-paid jobs.

The UK University and College Union warned of a ‘lost generation’ elbowed aside in the rush for places.’ Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University and College Union (UCU) says: “It is disgraceful that thousands of applicants will be denied the chance to fulfil their potential at a UK university.”

Nevertheless, this has opened up opportunity for the Marbella University to serve a great number of qualified students with some of its demanding study programmes such as business administration, tourism, psychology, communication and public relation, among others.

Not only Marbella is regarded as one of the hot travel destinations in the world tourism map, the city is now emerging as a preferred overseas education base. Marbella has many International Schools offering affordable and quality educations. These international schools are usually meant to provide right and growth-oriented education course for children from 3-18 age groups.

All international schools are designed to prepare students at primary and secondary levels by adopting and imparting required academic excellence. Moreover, academicians or teachers in schools work in coordination with parents to prepare the right curriculum for the overall growth of the children.

Presently, most private schools follow the British National Curriculum and have been accredited/approved by the British Council and by the National Association of British Schools in Spain (NABSS). These schools aim to create and develop a bilingual environment making both Spanish and English as their medium of study, thereby enabling them to gain prerequisite skills in both educational systems.

Again, the reason for this extensive following of British National Curriculum by international schools in Marbella is for a smooth transition of a student from a school with the same model, whether it is in Spain or any other country.

Among the various education programs, Marbella is home to specialized Spanish language schools or colleges in order to teach Spanish as a foreign language to students from all over the world. Here, the language is taught by highly qualified and experienced native teachers. Course duration for the Spanish language curriculum varies from short-term, long-term to academic-year programs.

Primarily, all international schools in Marbella—either privately run or public owned—are practiced to building a child-centered environment which enables a child to feel secure and independent while learning the academic skills in his/her early years. Moreover, the schools follow a balanced curriculum which allows children of any community to be in the right perspective in nurturing the intellectual, moral, spiritual, social and cultural aspects.

Apart from the usual course and curriculum, international schools in Marbella also offer a range of other unique and dedicated subjects, including business management, computer science and IT, theatre and arts, etc. Besides, there are schools those offer distance learning through internet; students even can reach out a live class according to the common British curriculum.
