Universities in Spain (2027): Fees, Deadlines, Requirements

Spain runs a Bologna-structured higher education system of public universities, each set up by an autonomous community, alongside a smaller group of private and Church-run universities. Non-EU applicants normally register with UNEDasiss to have their secondary school record recognised before applying, pay a per-credit tuition rate that each autonomous community sets on its own, and enter on a national student visa that now allows up to 30 hours of paid work a week and a 12-month post-study job search period.
