Why students choose Spain

Spain has more than 75 universities and is a consistently popular destination for students from outside Europe as well as within it. International student numbers grew from roughly 153,000 in 2015 to about 195,000 in 2019.

Most programmes are taught in Spanish, though English-taught options exist and are worth checking university by university.

Things to consider

  • Teaching in Spanish is still the norm at most universities. Confirm the language of instruction for any programme before you apply.
