Background of Colombia
Colombia is an appealing study abroad option, characterized by beautiful scenery, a multicultural environment, and pleasant weather. The Colombian government has increased funding for education, aiming to attract more international students. It's an excellent place to learn or improve Spanish, known for its clear and standardized dialect.
While a significant portion of higher education costs is state-covered, approximately 70% of institutions are private, offering diverse programs. Spanish is the official language of instruction, requiring proficiency proof (DELE B2 or certified advanced level). Some English-taught degrees are available, for which TOEFL and IELTS are accepted.
