Deadlines and intakes

Main intake September/October, with a smaller January/February start at some private universities.

For non-EU undergraduates the gateway is UNEDasiss, which converts your school-leaving qualification into something Spanish universities can read, calculates an admission mark, and runs the PCE subject exams that raise it for competitive degrees.

Language you need

English-taught provision is real but thin compared with the Netherlands or the Nordics, and concentrated at master's level and in private universities. English-taught bachelor's degrees are comparatively rare in the public system, and often come as bilingual tracks where some modules remain in Spanish.

Typical entry requirements for English-taught programmes are IELTS 6.0-6.5 or TOEFL iBT 79-90, with business and law often asking 7.0. For Spanish-taught degrees you will normally need DELE or SIELE at B2, with medicine, law, journalism and translation often asking C1.
