College Degrees in Spain: CEU San Pablo University

College Degrees in Europe

In this episode, I speak with Ivana, an international mission advisor at CEU San Pablo University in Madrid, Spain. During our conversation, she shared valuable insights about the university and student life. Tuition fees range from €8,000 to €16,000 annually, with flexible payment options that allow students to pay in full or in monthly installments. Living costs in Madrid are relatively affordable compared to other European capitals, making it an attractive destination for international students.

One notable advantage of CEU San Pablo is that international students can pursue their studies entirely in English, even without prior knowledge of Spanish. To further support students, the university offers free Spanish courses to help them integrate into the local culture. The admission process is straightforward and can be completed online, ensuring a smooth start for prospective applicants. Additionally, internships are a mandatory part of the academic program, which plays a key role in the university’s high employment rate for graduates.
