Which university and which languageto study psychology in Spain

The psychology degree is regulated by the state and the basis of teaching is the same in all universities.

Do all universities offerthe same courses?

But look carefully at the plans of study, which vary by university. As mentioned earlier, the psychology degree is often part of the health sciences faculty, but sometimes it depends on the social sciences or education sciences.

Choose your university carefully according to your professional project. If you are interested in clinical psychology, choose universities that integrate psychology into the health sciences.
If you want to work in education, the university that integrates psychology into the educational sciences may be the best fit for you. In any case, before making your choice, it is necessary to study the proposed study plan in detail.

In which language can you study psychology in Spain?

The majority of courses in Spain are in Spanish. A high level of Spanish (B2 minimum) is necessary to be able to understand all the courses as soon as you arrive to Spain.

Some universities offer 100% English courses from thefirst year. At the end of your program, you will be bilingual (English and Spanish).

What are the advantages of studying psychology in Spain?

The first advantage is obviously to have an outstanding international experience.

But one of the most interesting advantages is to enter a university system where public and private are complementary. The best students can enter a public university in Spain. You need a very high grade in your high school diploma and a level of Spanish that is certified by an official diploma. However, all students, regardless of their academic level, can enter a private university in Spain to study psychology. However, the level of Spanish is a mandatory requirement for successful study.

And unlike in other European countries, one of the advantages of studying psychology in Spain is the easier access to masters in private universities. In other european countries, psychology students can access the Master 1 degree without too much difficulty, but after that, there are very few places available for the Master 2 degree. A Master's degree is necessary to work as a psychologist.

In Spain, there are many programs that make it easier for students who have obtained their Bachelor's degree in psychology in 4 years.
Finally, one of the advantages of Spain, and more particularly of the Spanish private universities, is the numerous internships to which you will have access. The training is not only theoretical but also practical. This will make a difference in your CV.
