Study in Spain

Travelling to study in Spain is becoming a more popular option. The country has a well-respected education system and a reasonable standard of living, but offers lower living costs than many other European countries. Spanish is now the world’s second most-spoken business language, and spending time here perfecting your Spanish and receiving a quality education is attractive to many.

More and more Spanish universities are producing courses taught in English, and this is broadening the appeal of Spain as an overseas study destination. Students who chose to study in Spain enjoy vibrant and diverse university life and an excellent Mediterranean climate in a country renowned for its architecture, food and drink.

Spain has a great education system that is highly organized and well respected. While many of the education courses in Spain at state universities are taught in Spanish, some of them, as well as many private universities, have introduced courses taught in English.

IE Business School

quote

I was extremely confused about what my next career steps would be when I first approached Karan sir for my next couple of meetings with him. I began to get a lot more clarity he helped me get and of my apprehensions. The entire KGC team has been extremely helpful. They have helped me throughout the application process from school shortlisting, editing of essays, mock interviews to final submission. The prompt and professional approach of KGC has helped me obtain offices from 5 schools, something that I wasn’t expecting at all. Sir and his team have always been approachable throughout the process. I know that help was only a phone call away whenever I needed it, I am extremely happy with KGC and am grateful to them for helping me get admission to a school of my choice. What stood out for me was the personal touch and hands-on approach that sir had throughout the process, be it personally going through my essays, recommendations based on his understanding of me, or promptly replying to even the slightest doubt that I may have had.

Tuition Fees

The state-run universities offer free education, even for international students. To qualify you may need to take a course taught in Spanish, although there may be exceptions. Seek advice from an admissions specialist.

Average tuition fees at private universities are around €20,000 and average living expenses are around €10,000 per year. Some sought-after postgraduate programs such as MBAs at the prestigious business institutes will have higher fees.

If you choose to apply to a private university in Spain then some scholarships, bursaries and assistance programs are available. Competition for awards is high, and the awarding bodies will take into account all aspects of a student’s circumstances, academic record, extracurricular achievements and more. To maximize the chances of winning funding for your studies take expert advice on how to present a strong application.

Indian students can apply to state banks for an educational loan of up to Rs.2.5 Million, although be aware you may have to provide security for the loan of up to 100%. Also before entering into a 5 to 7 year financial commitment makes sure you have taken appropriate advice and have chosen the right course and institution for you.

Message from Dr. Karan Gupta

Did you know that the national anthem of Spain has no words in it?

Spain is the hub of culture and history in Europe and the world. It is the place to be if you wish to focus on Spanish language and history majors. It is in the EU which makes it easier to travel to closeby Schengen countries without restrictions. It is a comparatively cheaper & more economic option to study in although you will need to know basic Spanish to get by even if your course may be in English.

Student  Visa

The Spanish student visa takes a very long time to process so the students should consider applying as early as possible and give the visa at least 60 days to process. Along with the usual documents for the visa application like financial statements, income tax papers and other assets, you need a Police Clearance Certificate from any country you have lived in for more than 5 years, and a health certificate. All student visas for Spain are approved from the main Madrid office so apply as much in advance as possible.

Work Permit

Overseas students can work in Spain once they have been hired by a local company – it is then the employer who sponsors the full-time work permit giving permission to work in Spain. It is difficult for non-EU citizens to obtain work in Spain, so pay particular attention to your choice of course and university to maximize your employment potential there once you graduate. If you’re unsure as to the best choices then an educational consultant can help.

FAQs

You don’t have to be fluent but you will need to know the language to get by. You will find courses that are in English and not necessarily need it for coursework but you will have to know it for every other aspect of your life. 

Students need to take GMAT/GRE and language tests such as IELTS for courses taught in the English language depending on specific university requirements. However, Spanish language tests like Diplomas de Espanol como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) are needed to pursue a degree in Spanish.

It is recommended to have some level of fluency in the Spanish language which makes it easier for students to interact with locals and explore the city that they are living in. Spain is considered to be affordable as compared to living in London, Milan or Paris. Students can explore living on-campus, off-campus as well as homestays with Spanish families. However, the living expenses are higher in cities like Madrid and Barcelona as compared to smaller cities. Spain has a rich cultural heritage (cuisine, festivals, museums, monuments, beaches, nightlife) which can be explored by tourists and students alike.
