The honest version
What studying in Spain actually involves
Spanish public universities charge per credit, which puts most Bachelor's degrees between €800 and €2,500 a year — more than Italy, less than Lithuania. Outside Madrid and Barcelona the cost of living is among the lowest in Western Europe.
At a glance
- Tuition
- Charged per credit. Most Bachelor's degrees land between €800 and €2,500 a year.
- Living
- Outside Madrid and Barcelona, €600–€700 a month is realistic.
- Language
- English-taught programmes exist but are fewer than in Italy. Spanish at B1–B2 widens your options considerably.
- Recognition
- Degree homologación can be slow — budget several months.
- After graduating
- A 12-month job-search permit.
- The catch
- Scholarships for non-EU students are limited. Expect to self-fund more than in Italy.
