Do I need Spanish to study in Spain?
Not always. Many programs are offered in English, especially at the master’s level. Your options depend on your field and university.

Ideally 6–12 months before your intended start date so you have time for shortlisting, documents, and application deadlines.
What documents are typically required?
Common requirements include transcripts, ID/passport, proof of language, a CV, and a motivation letter. Some programs also require references.
How do I choose the right city?
Consider program availability, cost of living, language environment, and lifestyle. Big cities offer more options; smaller cities can be more budget-friendly.
