Why Study in Spain?

Although Spain has developed a dynamic educational system with international recognition, students studying in Spain do not have to look to other countries to discover why international students receive a rich educational and cultural experience. Spain’s universities and fields of studies can speak for themselves. Why study in Spain when there are other countries in the world that can offer education and culture to an international student? Spain has programs and systems in place that can help you excel not only in Spain, but in other countries as well.

Culture

The Alhambra in Granada, the Great Mosque of Cordoba, the royal monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial - only a few examples of the inspiring history and culture.

In Spain, you will have the opportunity to speak Spanish, the second most widely spoken language in the world. This can help you communicate to people in more than 21 countries - 495 million people - and with the Erasmus program in place, Spain welcomes international students in Spain with open arms, giving the atmosphere diverse and thriving character. Monuments and museums line cities, festivals, nightlife, tourist spots, theater, nature and ideal weather encompass the cities of Spain.

Higher Education System

Quality education is guaranteed for international students in Spain, as their university studies have been recognized as the first university institutions dated back to the 13th century. The only Spanish-speaking country to have modified its curriculum to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the Council of Universities ensures that schools in Spain reach the necessary quality levels.

Thousands of undergraduate and post-graduate courses are available in a teaching system that ensures a balance between theory and practice. Spain offers internships and other experience in their many valued companies.

Expected Cost

Public universities in Spain may cost between 680€ and 1,280€ each academic year for a bachelor’s degree, while private universities may cost between 5,335€ and 15,000€ per academic year. This cost will depend on the degree and university. Living in Spain would cost approximately on average between 900€ and 1100€ a month but will depend on the city and your standard of living. Spain is one of the cheapest European countries to live in. The prices for groceries, toiletries and other items are fairly similar throughout the country, which does not happen everywhere in Europe.

Why study in Spain? With programs to assure that international students are receiving the education they deserve, with the highly elevating culture of the cities and countryside, with the valuable learning and job experiences, and students and faculty ready to welcome you into a treasured culture, studying in Spain will not be a regret.
