Student life - adventure and growth
Are studies in Spain your dream and are you wondering which city would be the perfect choice? You’re in the right place!
Interesting student life
Studying in Spain is not just classes, but also events, travel, meeting people and the everyday energy of this wonderful country. This makes it easy to combine learning with an active life and truly enjoy studying.
Active academic environment
Universities offer numerous clubs, projects and initiatives for students. With the support of lecturers and an open atmosphere, you can develop your interests and build experience.
Rhythm of life and balance
The Spanish lifestyle supports a balance between studying and relaxing. You can grow academically while also having time for people, passions and enjoying life outside university.
Less formal relationships with lecturers
Relationships with lecturers are often more direct and less formal than in Poland. This makes it easier to ask questions, seek support and feel more confident in a new academic environment
Costs and financing
The cost of living and studying in Spain is more affordable than many people assume. See the specific amounts.
Tuition
At public universities in Spain, annual tuition fees are usually much lower than in many other Western European countries. It’s one of those destinations where you can combine a good education with a reasonable budget.
800 - 1200€ per year
Cost of living
Monthly living costs depend on the city and how you manage your budget. Madrid and Barcelona are on average 100 - 250€ more expensive than other cities. Overall, the cost of living is comparable to Poland.
800 - 1350€ per month
Accommodation
The largest part of the budget is usually taken up by renting a room or apartment, and this is mainly where Madrid and Barcelona are more expensive. The price also depends on whether you choose a room, a student residence or renting an apartment.
350 - 800€ per month
Other expenses
Food, transport, study materials and everyday outings are slightly more expensive than in Poland.
350 - 550€ per month
Scholarships
In Spain, scholarships are not easily available, so it’s better to plan your departure as if you were not going to receive any. Exceptions may include individual grants or a waiver of ECTS credit fees awarded after the first year for academic performance.
limited
For academic performance
The most realistic scholarships are those awarded after the first year of study, usually for a very high grade average, the so-called Matrícula de Honor. This option usually allows tuition fees to be waived for a subject with a high grade.
grade average above 9,0
Student work
As an EU citizen, you have no restrictions on the number of working hours. In larger cities, many students combine studies with work. In Spain, the barrier may be not knowing Spanish.

Application to universities in Spain
Find out how the application process for studies in Spain in English and Spanish works, what application points and PCE are, and how to increase your chances for your chosen degree program.
Application deadlines
In the regular application cycle for public universities, you usually submit documents at the end of June or the beginning of July. You usually need to register for the PCE exams by the end of April. UC3M offers Early Admission, and private universities open applications already in the autumn of the previous year and operate on a rolling admission basis, so the sooner you submit your application, the better your chances.
Important information
Spain has regional application systems, often available mainly in Spanish. Requirements, deadlines and documents vary between regions. That is why it is important to prepare Plan A, B and C and check the rules for each university separately. In addition, you cannot forget about the need to provide accreditation of your school results and a language certificate, which are required by most universities.
How to get accepted?
In the regular application process, you can score a maximum of 14 points: up to 10 for your school-leaving exam results and up to 4 for PCE or grade recognition (reconocimiento de asignaturas). At private universities, your CV, motivation letter, interview, portfolio and entrance tests may count.
Language requirements
Requirements depend on the region and university. In Madrid, a language certificate is often required at B2 or C1 level. Interestingly, in some regions, a language certificate is not required (both for programs taught in English and in Spanish). If you want to learn which regions these are - book a free consultation.
Private universities and Early Admission
Private universities usually recruit through their own systems and often operate on a rolling admission basis. Your CV, motivation letter, interview, tests and sometimes grades matter. UC3M Early Admission allows you to apply earlier based on your grades, CV and motivation letter.
