catalan education sistem

In Catalonia there are different levels to pass if you want to be something in this life.

First as a kid you have to go to kindergarten from 3 to 5 years. Then you pass to the next level that is called school and you stay there the next six years of your youth. When you are twelve you enter into high school and it’s mandatory to finish it because if you don’t, you won’t have a title saying you’ve finished and there is when you have 2 options, or stay studding or going to work.

If you keep studding you have also 2 options, you can go to “bachillerat” where you spend 2 years studding a lot to prepare yourself to “selectivitat” which is a test to pass to university or you can go to “formació profecional” that it takes 3 years.

Going to university you have to study a “grau” for minimum 3 years. On the other hand we have masters which are optional and it’s because  the student can assume a high level about their specialty.

Finaly we have the Doctorat which is a maximum of 3, 5 years to study.
