Testimonials

In order to decide where I would like to study, I did some research on the internet, I went to specialized study abroad fairs in Paris, I also contacted France Espagne éducation and I visited two universities in Madrid on their advice. After these two visits, I chose the CEU San Pablo University which seemed more attractive and more adapted to my course in architecture. The meeting with Nathalie Sanchez from France Spain was decisive in the choice of my studies in Madrid.

I decided to study in Spain because it is a country that has always attracted me by its culture and art of living.
I also wanted to learn a new language during my studies, in addition to English and French.
This choice became a reality when I learned that the University of San Pablo Ceu offered an international curriculum (courses taught in English) and a European diploma coupled with an equivalence to the American diploma at the end of the architecture curriculum.
More specifically, the architecture curriculum in Spain is based on both architecture and engineering, which is very present.
Moreover, the infrastructure and facilities at the university where I study seemed to be of very good quality and suitable for a concrete and precise learning of the course I was engaged in.

1. What did you do before you decided to study in Spain?

I come from a general high school (ES section)
2. Why did you decide to study in Spain?

I made the decision to move to Spain for 2 major reasons:

•  the medical exam being very hard I decided to go to a university accessible without exam in order not to lose 2 or 3 years in P1
•  to change from France to learn a new language

3. What are the negative points?

The distance from the family - The price of studies - The arrival of French students in large numbers

4. What do you appreciate most about the choice you made?

Spain, a country that I appreciate very much. - the Spanish people welcome you with open arms - the Spanish atmosphere that is not present in France - the fact of studying in another language (Spanish) and the fact of practicing English with some students who do not speak Spanish. - the discovery of another culture

After finishing my baccalaureate S, and not being accepted in preparatory classes to enter directly into veterinary schools, I decided to do a DUT in biological engineering at the University Paul Sabatier III in Auch. It is a 2 years diploma which allowed me to be a laboratory technician, and which could also be used as a gateway to enter a preparatory class for veterinary schools after the DUT.
This DUT allowed me to learn the good methods of work in university and the bases of teachings which are still useful today in my third year of veterinary studies. It also allowed me to know a little bit more about working life and I was lucky enough to be able to go on an internship in Africa to finalize the DUT.

I decided to study in Spain because I couldn't imagine continuing in preparatory classes without being sure of getting into a veterinary school after the competitive entrance exam. So I wanted to try this experience, which I don't regret at all today, thanks to the help of FEEDUC who made it possible. They helped me a lot with all the administrative formalities before, during and after my enrolment at the university.

I love to travel and get to know new cultures, so this was the perfect opportunity for me to go and live in another country, speak another language and integrate the customs of Spanish life. The University Alfonso X El Sabio is a renowned school in Spain and in Europe that offers a wide range of courses of study and makes it easy for foreign students to enter the programs thanks to the Spanish classes that put us in the best conditions to start the course in Spanish.

There is no real negative point, I am in a country where the joy of living and the good weather are the order of the day and I am doing the studies that I like. The distance can be a negative point for some but for me it is not.

This choice has enabled me to study and do the job I've always wanted to do, and which might not have been possible for me in France, to meet students from all over the world, to live a unique experience and to perfect my Spanish. The university is great, and the teachers are always ready to listen and help us at any time. I would like to thank Nathalie Sanchez and the FEEDUC team for all their help.

Before studying in Spain, I did two P1 medical studies at the P7 university in Paris. Before I visited the university and enrolled, I was still waiting for my results, so I hadn't really considered the option of going abroad. If I didn't get into medicine or physiotherapy, I thought I'd go to osteopathy school. Talking to an osteopath, he advised me to consider another option, given the increasing number of osteopathy students every year. It was at this point that my mother told me about the possibility of studying in Spain, a possibility she knew about thanks to FEEDUC.

When I left medical school, I didn't want to go through a series of competitive entrance exams again, I wanted to know quickly, but I wanted to stay in the medical/paramedical field, knowing that pharmacy or biology didn't appeal to me at all, it didn't leave me much choice. It was either osteopathy or going abroad. Belgium, because of its registration process, and Romania, didn't appeal to me at all. Speaking a little Spanish, we started to look into the possibilities of studying in Spain, thanks to FEEDUC. So we decided to visit the EMU to get an idea. I went with a few reservations, but the visit to the campus and especially the interview with the head of kinesiology, her speech and the program of the university for kinesiology appealed to me enormously and I was quickly won over, since I came away from the interview having enrolled at the university.

Going to study in Spain was the best choice I could have made after failing my medical degree, and this on several levels.
The university, and especially the professors, are very welcoming and available, which makes us feel reassured, especially at the beginning of the course.
Being in a Spanish class, I was able to meet Spaniards, Italians and French, and it is this mix that I really like, and which is represented in the picture. Moreover, the university offers a very interesting and varied list of internships and sports events (or not) on which we are invited to go as physiotherapists, allowing us to practice on real patients outside the internships.

Finally, studying in Spain allows me to master three languages (French, English, Spanish).

A big thank you to FEEDUC for the support they gave me right from the registration process and for their availability. I've discovered and am enjoying expatriate life in Spain, I'm doing studies that I really enjoy, and it wouldn't have been possible without you.

1. What did you do before you decided to study in Spain?
I passed my Scientific BAC in Albi, where I was playing rugby.

2. Why did you decide to study in Spain?
I had a very clear academic and sporting project: I wanted to study physiotherapy while continuing to practice my sport at a serious level. So I had 3 possible options: I could try for the first year of the PACES in France, or do a year of preparation for the IFMK exams, but these two options in no way guaranteed me a place on the course I wanted, and meant a significant reduction in the time I could devote to rugby.
The third option was to go abroad, so I researched the various European countries where I could obtain the physiotherapist diploma recognized in France. Spain seemed to be the best option, because of its proximity to France, its quality of life and its Latin language, which is similar to French. That's when I got in touch with FEEDUC, who found the best solutions for my profile. The agency helped me register, settle in and adapt to my new country.

3. What are the negative points?
The only negative point that comes to my mind is the first hours of classes, a little disorienting to be in front of real Spanish people who speak quickly. But the adaptation to the language is done quickly and fortunately the first hours of classes that you don't understand well are never very important.

4. What do you appreciate most about the choice you made?
I appreciate absolutely everything about the choice I made, life in Spain is very pleasant, the people are lovely, open, always smiling and ready to party. The professors at the Miguel de Cervantes University (Valladolid) are passionate and exciting, they give us a taste for our future profession. I don't regret my choice at all, if I had to do it again I would do it without hesitation.

I did a baccalaureate S then 2 times the1st year of PACES to reach the profession that I always wanted: dentist .

The absence of competitive examinations in Spain gives everyone the chance to succeed. It is a continuous and ongoing education.

The negative points are the price since it is the student who finances his studies and also the fact that the VU is not organized around a campus.

The positive points are the support from the university and the professors, and also the practice in parallel with the theory.

I would like to thank FEEDUC for putting me in touch with the university. For making the connection between us for my enrolment. A great help!

I did 2 years of PostBac before going to Spain.

The first year I went to PACES, compulsory passage to make kiné in France, I stayed there 6 months it was really not made for me and I preferred to stop than to waste my time, then I registered in L1 Biology in Toulouse, and I left to Valencia the year after. 

I always wanted to do Kinesiology and I tried almost everything to get there (PACES, competitive exams, drawing lots in Belgium) without success. So I went to Biology school to try to see other horizons and that confirmed to me that Kiné was really what I wanted to do.

So I looked into the various options available to me and came across FEEDUC.

If I am in Spain today, it is largely thanks to them.

FEEDUC took all the administrative work out of my hands, allowing me to focus only on the schools and criteria that really matched what I was looking for. 

Before making this choice, you must be ready and mature enough to leave your family and your comfort. You have to know how to manage on your own despite the help of the school and other French people in the same situation as you. 

Today I feel really reassured and happy to have succeeded in finding my field of study and to have followed this training. 

In an almost idyllic setting and with a busy extra-curricular life.

I have no regrets about leaving and I recommend it to those who are still hesitant today. 

Before choosing this path, I decided to go for a Première ES at the Lycée St Louis Villa Pia in Bayonne because I was thinking of doing an IAE or going to law school, but it was during my Première year and after an internship with a lawyer that I realized I didn't want to work in a legal profession or spend my life in an office, So I did an internship in a physiotherapist's office in Toulouse, then attended a presentation by Ms. Sanchez de FEEDUC at the career forum organized by my high school, after which I contacted you and began my enrolment at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria in Madrid.

I really liked this intermediary to medical studies in France, since it allowed me to be almost bilingual at the end of my studies, and then to live abroad (in a southern capital!) and discover a new way of life.

Of course, there are some negative points, such as being far away from your loved ones. Although at the beginning it is pleasant, afterwards we miss some landmarks, our family cocoon and it is not always well served to return to Biarritz (the plane schedules do not always coincide with our class hours, the train that I take only stops in Irun) fortunately there are carpools.

On the other hand, I really enjoy getting up in the morning to go to class, the Spaniards are very warm, open and pleasant, I don't feel at all the insecurity that I feared when I discovered the capital, also I realize the influence of France abroad (when they hear that I am French, They are rather admiring and happy to see that we are interested in their country, which gives us the impression of being welcome in their country), moreover I think that going abroad at the end of the high school is one of the best means to mature and to be responsible since we live on our own, far from our parents. Not to mention that the climate is very pleasant and the atmosphere particularly young!

I'd like to thank FEEDUC and Nathalie SANCHEZ, without whom I wouldn't have been able to enjoy this wonderful experience and, above all, build my professional future in this way. Their availability, support and professionalism were invaluable in helping me develop this project.

Following the tests that my daughter took in Madrid at the UAX, we pre-registered her in this university in physiotherapy. The school made a very good impression on us...

Thank you very much for your help in choosing and simplifying the process of getting into this school.
