Six reasons students choose Spain
Affordable, world-class
Public tuition is among the lowest in Western Europe, alongside 35 universities ranked in QS 2025.
Two intakes a year
A main September–October intake plus a February intake on many bachelor's and master's programs.
Work while you study
Your student permit allows up to 30 hours a week during term and full-time during scheduled breaks.
12-month job search
The post-study residence permit lets graduates stay to find a job or launch a business — no offer needed.
Pathway to work & residency
Convert directly into a work permit or EU Blue Card once a Spanish employer hires you.
Lifestyle & location
Sunny, safe cities, a rich culture, and a strategic gateway between Europe and Latin America.
