European Commission · study in Spain01 / YOUR STARTING POINT
Choose the closest match. Use it to plan your next checks, not as an admission decision.
For a Spanish Grado, the university’s admission requirements determine which assessment and application steps you need. Get these clear before choosing an intake.
UNEDasiss · international admissionUNEDasiss accreditation is not an admission offer. Requirements differ, so confirm the services and subjects needed before paying for them.
02 / THE REAL COST
Three details can change the value—and the practicality—of an offer.
Public fees vary by region, level and applicant status; private institutions set their own fees. Ask for the complete programme price and any per-credit or repeat-module charges.
European Commission · study in SpainSpanish is the main teaching language, with English options especially at postgraduate level. Check every required module and placement rather than relying on the language of the brochure.
European Commission · study in SpainCompare a real room quote, deposit, bills and commute for each campus. Madrid, Barcelona and a smaller university city can produce quite different personal budgets.

04 / FUNDING THE MOVE
Start with an affordable study plan. Then explore funding that matches your background.
Start with the institution and your programme. Check nationality, residence, academic results and the deadline; public student-aid schemes are not automatically available to every newly arriving international student.
Explore study and fundingSelected joint master’s programmes can offer competitive scholarships to applicants worldwide. Check whether the actual consortium includes a Spanish study period and read that programme’s current funding call.
Explore joint master’s scholarshipsA smaller confirmed fee reduction on a suitable course can be more useful than an uncertain larger award. Record tuition after funding, the award duration and the date funds arrive.
