Malaga is the kind of location that international students imagine when they think of Spain, with its golden beaches and palm trees almost everywhere you go. EF Malaga’s campus is situated within easy reach of Playas del Palo, and it is here that you’ll enjoy your 32 weekly classes.

This programme offers the best results of all the school’s options, not only thanks to the high number of study hours but also because a large portion of time is spent speaking in Spanish with your classmates. Additionally, with the Intensive course, you will receive 10 of EF’s Special Interest Classes, which allow you to choose the study topic.

One feature that makes EF stand out is that every 5 weeks they will ask you to complete a new placement test, in order to measure your progress. This is because they are confident that with 6 weeks of study in which you complete every assignment, you will be able to advance one course level.
