Why Spain
Spanish higher education rests on centuries of tradition: the University of Salamanca is one of Europe's oldest, alongside Bologna, the Sorbonne, Oxford and Cambridge. Quality is monitored by the national agency ANECA.
Higher education
Universities in Spain
A university tradition as old as Oxford's, internationally ranked business schools and growing numbers of English-taught degrees.
Public and private universities
Public universities rank well nationally and internationally, and private universities also provide a high-quality education. Leading private universities include the University of Navarra, IE University, Universidad Europea, Ramon Llull and CEU San Pablo. IE Business School, IESE and ESADE are among the best-ranked business schools in Europe.
Degree structure
- Grado (bachelor's): usually four years
- Máster: one to two years
- Doctorado: usually three to four years
Language and admission
Most teaching is in Spanish; bilingual and English-taught programmes are mainly found at the best-known universities and usually cost more. International applicants do not always need the Spanish EBAU exam: public universities may require PCE subject exams through UNEDasiss, while private universities run their own selection. Spanish programmes require DELE or SIELE certificates; English programmes require IELTS or TOEFL.
