Spain provides world-class university education with affordable tuition fees and a vibrant lifestyle. Leading universities like the University of Barcelona (UB) and Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) attract thousands of international students.
Bachelor Admissions & Homologation
Non-EU high school credentials require official Homologation (Homologación) via Spain’s Ministry of Education and credit evaluation via the UNEDasiss portal. Taking specific competency exams (Pruebas PCE) allows students to raise their admission score from 10 to a maximum of 14 points.
Master & PhD Admissions
Master's applications are made directly to each university portal, typically beginning between January and May for the September academic intake.
Tuition, Living Costs & Visas
Public university tuition ranges from €1,200 to €4,500 annually. Visa solvency requires demonstrating the statutory IPREM threshold (~€600–€650 per month). Students can work up to 30 hours per week during their studies.
