SPAIN www.campusspain.es
The 2019 QS World University Rankings has seven Spanish universities in its Top 50 under 50, with three in the Top 10 Global MBA rankings in Europe.
Spain is now a major destination for international students. One concern is the language barrier—most subjects at public universities are taught in Spanish—which means students need to be fluent. The comprehensive language, culture and adaptation to university course (LCA) by Campus Spain is specifically designed for this.
Spoiled for Choice There are about 50 public and 35 private universities in Spain. Bachelor’s degree programmes are popular with Indians, with postgraduate courses also seeing interest. The most popular undergraduate courses are law, visual arts, design, tourism, filmmaking and engineering. MBA courses are highly favoured by postgraduate students. Gonzalo Martinez, director, Campus Spain, says, “Some of the best universities for medicine and engineering are public institutions, but for business studies, students should choose private institutions.” The top-ranked degrees in public universities cost students less than $1,000 a year.
Stay Back While those on student visas are allowed to work while studying, those who have finished their degrees can stay in Spain for up to a year while looking for a job if they can show they are financially independent.
