We work with you, for you!
To be eligible to apply to a university in Spain as an international student you must first achieve the minimum Spanish level needed to study at the university level, which is high intermediate (B2). You will then have to prepare for the university entry exam (EBAU) which students take in May of each year to start university in September.
See below the packages available to suit your needs.
The program consists of two main parts – an intensive Spanish course and the Spanish university entrance exam preparation course.
Perfectly designed for each student to meet the necessary Spanish level in 2 to 6 months depending on their initial level
The EBAU, or “Evaluación del Bachillerato para el Acceso a la Universidad”, is a series of exams to enter university in Spain. Both Spaniards and foreign nationals should complete them as part of their application to a bachelor’s/undergraduate degree. This can also be referred to as the ´Selectividad´ or the Spanish University entrance exam.
University Entry in 2022
Every year there are 2 chances to take the exam:
– ORDINARY (last week of May): students that pass the exam in this date have priority when choosing university and program.
– EXTRAORDINARY (first week of September): if you fail or wish to improve your grade, the exam can be taken again in September
A student visa is required for all non-EU citizens who plan to study in Spain for a period long than 90 days. You need this document to enter Spain. Requirements and processing times may vary by country, contact us for personalized assessment and aid.
The NIE is your Foreigner Identification Number, typically you receive it with your student visa or obtain after arrival.
The TIE is your Foreigner Identification Card, your ID which signals that you are permitted to leave and re-enter the country for your studies. You apply for it after arrival. Once you arrive in Spain, Expanish is happy to guide you through the application process.
Apart from your high school documents, some universities might also require a birth certificate, a Social Security card, medical insurance and bank statements when applying for a Bachelor’s degree.
Frequently Asked Questions
In general, all bachelor’s degrees or “grados” are 4 years or 240 ECTS.
You will need to ask for a Study Visa that will last the length of your program with us. Once you are accepted into university you will need to ask for an extension of your visa at the “Oficina de Extranjería” in Spain. We can recommend lawyers that can help you with this process if needed.
Our partner school cannot guarantee admission to a university as it depends on the overall grade combined with your high school performance and EBAU exam results. The school will help you make the best of your experience as you will be advised which degrees are better for you to apply to and which subjects you need to focus on in order to accomplish your goals.
EBAU prep classes are taught in Spanish and this is the recommended level needed in order to follow them. You can start the prep course but we recommend adding extra Spanish classes, which have an additional cost. Not having the recommended minimum Spanish level during the EBAU preparation course will severely affect your test scores and chance of entering university in Spain.
