Frequently asked questions

The deadline for enrolment is July 15th.

For those students who require a residence visa, it is highly advisable to initiate the application process well in advance to account for potential delays. Please be aware that starting the academic year without an approved VISA is not possible. While the BCC can provide you with an enrolment certificate, the responsibility of obtaining the visa lies with the applicant.

We strongly urge all prospective students to expedite the admission and enrollment procedures to guarantee a place in our limited enrollment programme. Your timely action will contribute to a smooth transition into our academic community.

To demonstrate proficiency in Spanish, we accept the SICELE certificate at level A2 from any partner institution, as well as the Instituto Cervantes DELE exam, available in various countries and accessible in digital or online formats.

Should you be unable to furnish either of these documents, a request will be made for you to sign an academic commitment, affirming your commitment to achieving the minimum A2 proficiency before commencing the second year of the program.

In the case of possessing an unofficial A2 certificate from an unaccredited institution, a Spanish diagnostic test will be administered to ascertain your proficiency level and determine whether additional support is necessary.

Candidates holding only an A1-level certificate will receive conditional admission and will be required to participate in a Spanish intensive course to enhance proficiency before embarking on the program.

We strongly advise all applicants to establish a robust foundation in Spanish before entering the third year, ensuring a successful trajectory in the program.

The official certificates accepted are:

• TOEFL: 93-120 (computer-based test), 397-433 (paper based test) or 30-40 (internet based test).
• IELTS: minimum 3.0
• TOEIC: 255-400
• University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations: Cambridge English Key (KET)
• Other exams / certificates: could be accepted as long as the level can be accredited.

If you have not taken science classes such as biology or chemistry in high school, or if your last related study was completed more than 5 years ago, you will need to take extra science classes before starting the programme of study.

Similarly, for Spanish, if you do not have any prior knowledge or cannot provide a certificate demonstrating proficiency, you will need to take the BCC diagnostic test or take Spanish classes to meet the language requirement. 

If your secondary/high school degree is not related to science or if you pursued a career in fields such as arts, law, or others, you can still apply for enrollment in the programme. You have the option to take the intensive summer course in basic sciences, which will help you level up your knowledge in the science field and prepare you for the programme. 

To prove that you have access to the university, you need to submit a certificate that verifies the completion of your secondary education and grants you access to higher education in your country. Examples of such certificates include Selectividad (Spain), Baccalaureat (France), A-levels (UK), Abitur (Germany), Slutbetyg (Sweden), Maturitá (Italy), and others. In some cases, if it is valid in your country of origin, you can be admitted by presenting a vocational test that grants you access to the university.

The admission interview is a simple conversation aimed at getting to know you better and understanding your motivations to join the BCC and become a chiropractor. You will be speaking with Adrian Wenban, the Director of BCC, about chiropractic and the institution. It is not necessary to prepare anything for this meeting, and there is no need to be concerned.  It is also your chance to ask any questions or clear any doubts you may have before enrolling.

Yes, as a foreign student without an EU passport, you can still study at the BCC.

The BCC can provide guidance and support throughout the visa application process.

We recommend registering and reserving your place as early as possible to avoid any delays or complications. 

Yes, you can! We have designed an intensive “Basic Science” course to provide you with the necessary content base to be on par with your peers who have a scientific background.

This online intensive course takes place one month prior to the start of the academic year.

In some cases, we ask our applicants to take a diagnostic test, to check their level in basic sciences (e.g. people who studied sciences a long time ago).

This will also be discussed during the interview with the Principal.

Upon receipt of your admission document securing your place at the BCC, it is imperative to send us the duly completed and signed “Registro de Matrícula” (enrollment contract).

Confirmation of your place will be finalized only upon the successful payment of the enrollment fee.

Sarrià is known for its traditional charm and peaceful atmosphere, and it is where the majority of program activities take place. However, any other neighborhood in Barcelona that you prefer and meets your needs can also be a viable option. Fortunately, all neighborhoods in Barcelona are well-connected by public transportation.

If you are looking for a quieter and less touristy neighborhood, we advise against selecting areas such as Barceloneta, El Born, El Gótico, El Raval, and their surroundings.
