Basic requirements for admission to universities in Spain

Average English language requirements: TOEFL from 80-87, IELTS from 6.0-6.5. To confirm proficiency in Spanish, you need to get a DELE certificate – at least 60 points out of 100, with at least 30 points out of 50 in each section. Examples of universities with a good English-language program: Global Business School (Barcelona) and Marbella University (Malaga).

To enroll in a university in Spain, you will need a language certificate - English or Spanish, depending on the language of the program and the requirements of the university. International exams such as DELE, SIELE, IELTS or TOEFL are suitable - universities indicate the required level on their websites.
You also need to go through the homologation procedure - recognition of your certificate or already received diploma in Spain:
- Affix an apostille to the educational document,
- Make a sworn translation into Spanish,
- Submit an application for homologation.
Please note: the exact list of additional documents may vary depending on the university and the chosen program. Be sure to check the current information on the website of a specific educational institution.
We can help you at every stage - from preparing documents to submitting them.
Make an appointment at the consulate in Moscow or St. Petersburg at least 2 months before your travel date. The average processing time for a student visa to Spain is 2-4 months.

Not sure where to start the process?
Admission to state universities
Select universities in one or more provinces of Spain and identify the specialties you are interested in. It is recommended to indicate up to 11 specialties within 1 province in order of priority for you.
Once we have selected a university and a course, you will need to pay a fee to reserve your place. You will receive confirmation of payment and the opportunity to choose the subjects you will study during the academic year.
For programs accredited by the Ministry of Education, homologation of your previous diploma is required.
If you want to enroll in a program with a high passing score (medicine, business in English), but are not yet ready for competition, the best solution would be to choose a program to prepare for entering a university. They focus on specialized subjects, which will increase the chances of passing exams and improve your knowledge of Spanish. In addition, you will have time to complete the homologation process and enter the desired faculty without stress.
There are a lot of nuances, because each province has its own admission criteria.
It is possible to enter a state university on your own, but the main thing is not to get confused and not to miss something important. Therefore, we offer you a 15-minute free consultation right now to assess the reality of admission and understand the admission algorithm in your case.
Admission to private universities and business schools
Explore different private universities and business schools. Pay attention to the admission requirements and features of each school.
Once you have selected the universities, apply for admission to them. This may involve filling out online forms, taking tests, providing the necessary documents such as academic certificates, letters of recommendation and essays, and paying application fees. For creative fields, schools will ask for a portfolio of your work.
If the universities you choose conduct interviews, prepare for them. Develop answers to typical questions, demonstrate your professional and personal qualities.
Once the application process is complete, wait for the results. If you are successfully accepted, follow the instructions to confirm your place and pay for your studies.
Admission to private universities differs from admission to state universities.
You apply to the institution itself. In this case, it is important to prepare the correct package of documents and prepare for the subsequent interview.
Each educational institution has an individual process. We will accompany you in the process of collecting documents, prepare you correctly for the interview and wait for successful admission to the university.
