Check funding early
Review scholarships with the university or award provider. Check eligibility, deadlines and what an award covers. Build your plan around confirmed funds.
Entry requirements & how to apply
Requirements depend on your qualification, citizenship and chosen programme. Check the university’s current instructions before preparing your application.
Academic entry requirements
Undergraduate applicants need a secondary-school qualification, often with legalisation. Master’s applicants need a first degree.
Language & course requirements
Language requirements depend on whether your programme is taught in Spanish or English. Tourism schools may also require an interview.
For a master’s degree
Check the recognised first degree, relevant subject background and grades required by the programme. Some courses also ask for professional experience, a portfolio, research proposal or an interview.

Documents to prepare
