Well-rounded education includes English language

Spanish University Increases English requirement

As pointed in the article, "Los alumnos de la UPNA deberán tener un nivel medio de inglés para graduarse," the inclusion of a higher than basic level of English is necessary to have a well-rounded education today.

Moreover, "el nivel de inglés obligatorio al acabar las carreras será el B1."

B1 Level

B1 is a designation in the European langauge framework. One's mastery of a language exists in quantifiable levels.

B1 is defined as:

1) CAN express opinions on abstract/cultural matters in a limited way or offer advice within a known area, and understand instructions or public announcements.

2) CAN understand routine information and articles, and the general meaning of non-routine information within a familiar area.

3) CAN write letters or make notes on familiar or predictable matters.
