Admission to Spanish Universities for Indian Students: The Master's Route and the Class 12 Route

Spain has no central portal. For a master's you apply to each university with your Indian degree; for a bachelor's at a public university your Class 12 must first be homologated to the Spanish Bachillerato and accredited by UNEDasiss, often with PCE exams. Private universities run their own admission for both.

Master's: apply directly

  1. Shortlist programmes and check the language: many are partly in Spanish.
  2. Apply on each university's portal in its first round, usually December–February for September.
  3. Upload your degree, transcripts, CV, motivation letter, English score and, for some, references.
  4. Admitted? Pay the reservation or prepayment, then book a BLS visa appointment.

Indian degrees for master's admission do not need homologación. Some universities charge a fee to assess a foreign degree, for example €218.15 at UB and UPF.

Bachelor's after Class 12

At public universities: homologación of Class 12 to the Bachillerato, UNEDasiss accreditation, PCE subject exams to raise your grade, and pre-enrolment in the region's system. Most public bachelor's are in Spanish and need DELE B2. Step by step on homologación and PCE.

At private universities: their own test and interview, then recognition of Class 12 for the official degree.

Documents

Indian certificates need an MEA apostille and, for public bodies, a sworn translation into Spanish; see apostille and sworn translation.

Common questions: Admission in Spain

Can I get admission in Spain with a three-year Indian degree?

For a master's, yes, at many universities: each assesses whether your degree gives access to master's study in India. A four-year degree is accepted without question; a three-year one is decided programme by programme.

Is IELTS required in Spain?

For English-taught programmes, usually: IELTS 6.0–6.5 for bachelor's and 6.5 or TOEFL 90 for master's, more at business schools. Some universities accept an English-medium degree instead.

When do Spanish universities take applications?

Master's at public universities mostly from December to April, in rounds; business schools from September; bachelor's pre-enrolment in June and July after PCE results.
