Completing high school and entering university is the most common, however, it does not have to be the only study alternative nor is there a single way to get to university. Yes, yes. It seems that this route is the only one they teach us, but there are many more. For example, the Gap Year. An alternative to university that can help you go as far as you want. “Gap” translates to “gap” or “space,” but at Plan Zero, in the context of Gap Year, we like to translate it as Opportunity. Opportunity to explore other options and opportunity to get to know you better. Save time with the Gap Year According to a study by the University of Valencia, 23% of Spanish students drop out or change majors during their first year. Following the typical route of high school and university seems not always to be the best option, but curiously others are only considered when we do not receive the grade or we do not manage to get into the university we had in mind. But under any circumstances, a Gap Year can be a great alternative to university the first year and, although it may seem otherwise, save you time! Or isn’t a year wasted a year in a career that you later abandon? Improve your English with a Gap Year What if instead of choosing a career without being clear, you improve your chances of entering an international university and boost your resume? During your Gap Year you will be able to spend stays abroad, learn to function autonomously and independently, and you will be able to take the opportunity to obtain an Official English Certification that will open the doors to international universities or simply give a plus to your job search.
