How to apply
Get your school results recognised
EU students and those from countries with agreements get an accreditation from UNEDasiss. Others first need their diploma recognised as equivalent to the Spanish Bachillerato.
Raise your admission grade if you need to
UNEDasiss runs subject tests (PCE) that add points to your grade. Competitive degrees usually need them.
Pre-register in each region
Public universities are grouped by autonomous community, each with its own pre-registration in early summer. Private universities admit directly, all year.
Enrol when places are published
Cut-off grades are published after each round. You accept and enrol online within the stated days.
Cost
Public fees are set per credit by each region and are low by European standards. Non-EU students may pay more in some regions. Private universities set their own, much higher fees.
Language
Most public degrees are in Spanish, or Catalan, Basque or Galician in those regions. English-taught bachelor’s degrees are common at private universities and a few public ones.
Good to know
Non-EU students need a student visa, applied for at the Spanish consulate before travelling.
