Why study in Spain?
Varied educational opportunities of the highest standards
Spain's education system offers a wide range of college and university studies at all levels, as well as internationally reknown business studies at prestigious schools, and the best opportunities for the studying of Spanish as a foreign language, with a great variety of courses to choose from. The educational system is well organized and brimming with opportunities for personal growth and academic achievement for international students.
The higher education system has undergone significant changes and extraordinary growth over the past 25 years, which allowed Spain to dramatically increase the number of university places available. In addition to progress in many other areas, this facilitated university access to thousands of young people through the creation of numerous new and well-equipped universities.
The past two decades have also witnessed the founding of a large number of private universities and business schools that have rapidly become internationally recognized centers of excellence.
The reformed education system has not only facilitated an increased number of college and university students, both Spanish and foreign, but also the availability of better resources in the universities has been responsible for an unprecedented growth in the quantity and quality of academic, scientific and technological research.
The Spanish university system gives students the freedom to decide what type of education they want. The wide range of study options caters for the diverse academic aims of students, while at the same time satisfying the varied interests, abilities and attitudes they may have.
A multicultural student population
Spain is now the third most popular destination for international university students from Europe and the American continent, after England. Almost 36% of foreign students come from the American continent and, of these, 31% are Latin American.
As a result, Spain has developed a diverse, multicultural student population which, over time, has made the Spanish education system one of the most attractive in Europe, thanks to its cultural diversity.
