Spain is not just about the warm sea, fiery flamenco and its world-famous paella. Spain can also offer you prestigious European education. Every year thousands of students from almost all over the world come to Spain to pursue a higher education. Higher education in Spain meets the highest European standards and, at the same time, it is very affordable. Tuition starts at 760 EUR per course.

In general, what are the advantages of a European education? What about a Spanish education in particular?

First of all, it is a European diploma, which is recognized by all EU countries. After the Bologna Agreement entered into effect in 2010, a higher education diploma earned in Spain became valid in many countries and vice versa. Having a BA degree from Spain, (which is also a European degree) is the ticket to employment in Europe as well other European companies even in the territories of those other countries.
The higher education system in Spain puts a strong emphasis on professional training. Subjects directly related to the future degree are studied starting in the 1st year; nothing is superfluous.
Spain’s s public universities combine both ancient academic traditions with modern teaching methods, including state-of-the-art technology; huge research libraries and top-notch laboratories.
And, of course, we cannot ignore the advantage of having a powerful language experience that foreign students receive during their time in Spain. Today, 450 million people in the world speak Spanish.
Higher education in Spain also means international contacts, not only with Spaniards themselves, but also with students from different countries who study at Spanish universities.

What subjects have traditionally been widely taught in the Spanish educational system?

They are medicine and tourism. And among the new fields of study are: ecology, biomechanics, business administration, IT, political science, finance, new sources of energy, advertising and information technology. And of course, where better to study Spanish philology than in Spain! In addition, much attention in Spain has been paid to the arts: graphics, design, scenery and architecture are taught at a very high level.
