A Guide to Studying Abroad in Spain

Prepare to Study Abroad

Set goals

Creating goals for your experience abroad is important to making the most of your time in Spain. Here are some tips to help you make goals:

  • Identify academic goals you’d like to focus on while abroad! Depending on your major this could be an assortment of things.
  • What kind of ways can I connect with my host country’s culture and are there boundaries I’m willing to push further for the experience?
  • Traveling anywhere can change a person let alone a different country and culture for the first time! How can I work toward becoming more of a global traveler?

Understand the benefits

Any study abroad experience is highly beneficial to any student! For programs in Spain, here are a few basics:

  • Practice and refine your Spanish. You will more commonly than not be flexing your speaking skills through academic and social means.
  • Cultural immersion. You’ll get to know Spain’s culture, people, and layers of influences—there’s much more to Spain than bullfighters.
  • Academic excellence. Spain offers a network of diverse and respected academic programs.
  • Academic connections. With a rising international student population in Spain, you can make friends from anywhere.

Things to know

Before heading to Spain, keep these additional tips in mind:

  • Basics - Research your study abroad options in Spain carefully to find the best fit for your goals. Pack versatile clothing appropriate for Spain’s climate and your activities. Always be respectful of local customs and traditions, as they are an integral part of the culture.
  • Logistics and safety - Ensure all important documents are ready well in advance. A flexible and thoughtful packing list is crucial to adapt to different environments.
  • Cost of living and accommodation - The cost of living can vary across Spain, so budgeting is essential. Accommodation types and costs also depend on your location and time of year, so plan accordingly.
  • Social and cultural etiquette - In Spain, greetings are valued, so always say hello. Be open to learning and participating in local customs to enhance your experience.
  • Visa requirements and other information - For stays longer than 90 days, a visa is required, so gather all necessary documents in advance. Private health insurance is also mandatory for your time in Spain.
  • Language - Brush up on basic Spanish phrases to ease daily interactions and show respect for the local language.

Frequently Asked Questions

To study abroad in Spain, choose when you want to go, what you want to study, and apply to programs that fit your goals. You can study in Spain through a study abroad provider or through your university if they offer a program.

Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville are the most popular places to study abroad in Spain. Madrid is central, Seville is south, and Barcelona sits on the northeastern coast. Also consider Granada and Valencia.

You can expect to pay up to $5000 or more for a summer in Spain, and up to $10000 or more per semester. If studying through your home university, the cost will be somewhat consistent with your usual tuition.

The best study abroad programs in Spain will include cultural components (like homestays and language courses), as well as fun excursions. Check out IES Abroad, CIEE, and AIFS.

Spain is a great place to study abroad! Spain is safe and has fun nightlife throughout the country. The school week is only four days, and you'll also get to experience siesta—the time when everyone naps during the hottest part of the day.

Latest Program Reviews

It really improved my Spanish

November 07, 2025by: Jonathan Rajamand - SwedenProgram: Spain Individual Immersion
10

I got into this program as I was struggling with Spanish in my school. My parents thought that it would be best to send me abroad, as they have also gone through similar experiences and have improved a lot from them. And after two weeks of taking part of the program, I can positively say that I have improved a lot. The family was really friendly, and I had a lot of incredible experiences there. And after I returned, I found my Spanish to have improved. I really recommend this program as it not only helped my Spanish, but I now have many adventures to talk about.
