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.

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.

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.

More Than a School, a Second Home

Program: Study Spanish in Bilbao, Spain

My experience at Instituto Hemingway was truly unforgettable. The classes were not only effective but also fun and engaging, thanks to teachers who are incredibly patient and supportive. They take the time to make sure everyone understands, creating a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. What makes this place special is the feeling that the whole school is one big team—a kind of family where you instantly feel at home. You’re not just learning Spanish, you’re starting a new chapter, meeting people, and growing every day. I also loved living in a shared flat with people my age, which made everything more social and natural. Being able to walk to school was super convenient, and the cultural activities added so much to the experience. The school is also fully inclusive, welcoming everyone with open arms. And the city? Simply amazing—vibrant, beautiful, and full of life. I’d recommend it to anyone.
