Higher education in Cuba
Higher education should be followed by an institute, university, higher polytechnic institution or a center of higher education..
To complete the first stage of higher education, you need to complete a 4-5-year study at Licenciatura (in medical universities, training will take 5-6 years). Those who are going to overcome the second stage of education will have to study at Diplomado (in addition to gaining theoretical knowledge, students perform practical work, go to professional practice and write a thesis) and Maestria (training here involves obtaining comprehensive knowledge and conducting research ). The duration of training at each of these two stages will take two years..
Cuban universities provide a good pedagogical education. To become a primary and secondary teacher, you need to complete 5 years of college education, after which you will receive various degrees, for example, “Licenciado Educacion Primaria”.
At some universities, higher education centers are open: they offer training in refresher courses (classes are mainly held in the evening). To use such a program, you need to graduate from high school and work at least a year in any field of activity..
Important: only citizens aged 25 to 35 can take advantage of refresher courses. And in order to enter, you will need to pass entrance exams.
Language schools
You can come to Cuba combining business with pleasure: for example, language + teaching Latin American dances, language + rest in the best resorts (Varadero, Cayo Coco), language + thematic travel (“Eastern Express”, “The taste of life Cuban”).
You can unlearn according to the standard program (suitable for both beginners and those who wish to improve their language knowledge), vacation (suitable for those whose goal is to learn spoken Spanish, and in their free time to get to know the country and its inhabitants) or intensive (here everyone will be able to achieve maximum results in the study of Spanish in the shortest possible time) courses.
Cuba is not only salsa, rumba, Cuban rum, cigars, fiery carnivals, great opportunities for recreation and entertainment, but also a great chance to get a quality education.
