Text from Spain for translation to British English. Relating to Spanish universities and admission to them, this part talking about the "Prueba de Acceso a la Universidad (PAU)"
"Se trata de una prueba dividida en dos fases: general (obligatoria, que consta de 4 ejercicios: comentario de texto en lengua castellana, lengua extranjera, Historia/Filosofía y una *** asignatura de modalidad ***) y específica (voluntaria, con *** asignaturas de modalidad *** vinculadas a los estudios universitarios a lo que se desea acceder), de la que se obtiene una nota media que es la que permite acceder a cada titulación."

optional subject
The PAU has recently changed, I'm not sure if the subject is truly optional (in that you don't have to choose one at all) or if it is only optional in the sense that you choose which additional subject you will be examined on
20 hrs
Option
I found one high school explaining about Option s in this way:"Media Studies is taught as an Option at Key Stage 4".
