Attending college in Spain is something that you will certainly enjoy, but it is also something that you must plan for. One of the things that you need to consider is the cost that attending college in Spain will accrue.

You will be happy to know  that the costs of attending college in Spain are very reasonable, especially compared to other European countries, as well as the U.S. And, you can get all of the affordability along with a great education. So just how much does it cost to go to college in Spain?

That all depends. Several things factor in on the money that it will take to attain your education, including, of course, the university that you choose, the courses you want to major in, etc. It is also affected by financial assistance that you may be entitled too, though the Spain Education Board does not handle financial aid for international students.

We do have average costs available for you, however. Those average costs are as follows:

• A bachelor’s degree education can cost you anywhere between 680 and 1,280 Euros per school year when attending a public university.
• The amount that it will cost you to attend the university is a fixed amount that is set in place by the Autonomous Community, though the central government can set amounts of tuition costs of schools within their area.
• Fees for attending a private university to earn a bachelor’s degree vary between 5,500 and 18,000 Euros per school year.
• For Master’s or Doctoral degrees, university fees at public institutions are also government regulated, and vary between 22 and 36 Euros per credit.

If you attend a university in Spain and drop out only to want to enroll again at a later time the amount that you will spend for tuition will increase. Those who are on their second round at college may find costs of attending school to earn a bachelor’s degree up to 2100 Euros per school year, while   third round or more could cause your tuition costs to increase to as much as 33 Euros per semester or more.  Earning a Master’s degree could result in tuition costs of as much as 34 Euros for second-time students.
