Frequently asked questions

The enrollment period for our programme varies depending on the type of admission you have received.

If you have a conditional admission, you have until July 15th to enroll. If you have a direct admission and do not need to complete any additional courses to fulfill the programme requirements, you can enroll up to 15 days before the start of the programme.

If you require a residence visa (VISA), we strongly recommend that you begin the process as far in advance as possible due to potential delays in the application process. Please note that you will not be able to start the academic year without an approved VISA.

We encourage all prospective students to complete the admission and enrollment process as soon as possible to secure a place in our limited enrollment programme.

If you have any further questions or concerns about the enrollment process or visa requirements, please do not hesitate to contact our admissions office for assistance.

To demonstrate your level in Spanish, we accept the SICELE certificate at level A2 from any partner institution, as well as the Instituto Cervantes DELE exam, which is available in many countries and can be taken in digital or online formats.

If you are unable to provide either of these documents, you will be asked to sign an academic commitment stating that you will obtain the minimum level A2 requirement before starting the second year of the program.

If you have an unofficial A2 certificate from an unaccredited school, you will be asked to take a Spanish proficiency exam to determine if your level is sufficient or if you need additional support.

If you only have a certificate at level A1, you will be conditionally admitted and required to attend a Spanish summer course to improve your proficiency before starting the program.

We highly recommend that all applicants have a strong foundation in Spanish before entering the third year to ensure success in the program. If you have any further questions or concerns about the Spanish language requirements or proficiency exams, please contact our admissions office for assistance.

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.
