What to Study in Spain?

In Spain, there are two types of higher education:

• Higher Vocational Training (FP2). These studies last 2 years and have a job-oriented objective. They are qualifications for learning trades and practicing in companies. They are currently increasing, and there are many types of qualifications related to various sectors: economic, health, environmental, mechanical, logistics, etc. They are carried out in schools, institutes, or training companies, which can be public or private. There is an offer of online qualifications, with most being face-to-face.
• University. Studies ranging from 4 to 7 years. There are about 100 universities in Spain where you can obtain official degrees. Universities can be public or private, with different costs and services. There are also face-to-face and distance universities.

How to Get a Student Visa to Study in Spain being Iranian

Iranian nationals must apply for a student visa to study in person in Spain.

There are two types of student visas in Spain, depending on the duration of the studies:

• Short-term student visa: for foreigners who wish to study between 91 and 180 days in Spain.
• Long-term student visa: for foreigners who wish to study for more than 6 months in Spain.

It is important to note that for those who wish to study for less than 90 days, it is not necessary to apply for a student visa. In this case, their tourist visa will be sufficient if it is necessary to enter the country.

Documentation Required for the Student Visa Process

• If the student is under 18 years old and does not travel with their parents, a legal permit signed by them is necessary.
• A medical certificate showing that the applicant does not suffer from any disease recognized by the International Sanitary Regulations of 2005. The original passport and a copy.
• Documentation showing that you have the necessary economic funds.
• Enrollment or a document certifying that the educational institution has accepted the student and has a place available for the next course. This is known as the acceptance letter.
