Higher Education in Spain

Spanish Universities have a long history stretching back to the thirteenth century. Today Spain’s 76 public and private universities offer students a wide range of courses and the opportunity to study at all levels. Universities are found all over the country, but chiefly in the major cities, with a large number of the private universities located in Barcelona and Madrid. The Spanish university system is ranked 5th in the world.

With lower living costs than many other European countries and a fee structure controlled by the Government, Spain is an attractive option for local and foreign students.

Classes are of course normally in Spanish, but in some of the Autonomous regions, such as the Basque country or Galicia, courses are often taught in the minority language as well as Spanish.

However, most Spanish Universities are increasing the number of programmes they offer in English. Students should make sure that the courses that they wish to take are actually going to be in Spanish or English if planning to attend a University in an Autonomous region. Most universities offer language courses in Spanish or the regional languages for students coming from non-Spanish speaking countries.
