Do You Need Spanish for a Master's in Spain? When English Is Enough and When It Isn't

For admission to a fully English master's, no. For everything around it, some Spanish helps from the first week: renting a room, the TIE appointment, a part-time job. For a job after graduation, Spanish is usually the deciding factor.

Three kinds of programmes

Fully in English: no Spanish needed for the course (UPC, UAB, UC3M, business schools).
Partly in Spanish: common in Andalusia, Málaga and some Valencia master's; plan for B1–B2.
Spanish-taught: most public master's; B2 required.

A realistic target: A2 before you arrive, B1 by the end of the first year. Where to learn: Spanish language.
