Spain University Intakes and Deadlines for Indian Students

Intakes and Deadlines in Spain: September Start, Applications From the Previous Autumn

Almost every Spanish degree starts in September, with a handful of February starts. Because a student visa needs your admission letter and takes up to two months, Indian applicants should work back from June, not from September.

Common questions: Intakes in Spain

Is there a January intake in Spain?

Very few. Some UPM and business-school master's start in February; most public programmes start only in September.

What is the last safe date to apply for September?

For public master's, the first or second round, by about March. Later rounds exist, but places and visa time run short.
