How to Study 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.
  • Explore ways to connect with your host country’s culture. Are you willing to push boundaries to gain a deeper experience?
  • Academic excellence. Spain offers a diverse network of respected academic programs. 

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 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 integral to the culture.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Program: Study Spanish in Bilbao, Spain

Studying Spanish at Instituto Hemingway was unforgettable. The city feels authentic, not overcrowded with tourists, and everything is easy to walk. My school accommodation was just 15 minutes away, making daily life simple. Best of all, the Spanish course was dynamic, practical, and led by truly amazing teachers who made every class fun and motivating.
