Post-compulsory education consists of two academic years which conventionally comprise students from 16 to 18 years old.
Subjects are divided into common, which are studied in all pathways, and branch or optional, dependent on the chosen pathway. Moreover, if you want to know the business world, you have the opportunity to take the optional stay in business (during the summer holidays). Before ending the studies you have to do a research project to implement your knowledge and skills worked on during the stages.
To make the choice of subjects, students have to study common subjects and follow a pathway with branch subjects that suit their academic interests for their future. They complete their learning with optional subjects.
