Spain 2013/14 - student fees and grants |
The amount of fees is determined by the kind of the studies, the number of ECTS taken and the number of exams
failed in each subject. In addition, amounts differ between regions as each one has a different range.
For international students (from outside the European Union) who have not set their residence in Spain, the fees can be increased, depending on the region. Exemptions from fees are based in need criteria (family income being the most significant one), but a minimum level of academic performance is also required. Also, large families and disabled persons have very significant discounts, and may even be exempt. In the current economic crisis context, the government approved a new decree-act on urgent measures for rationalization of public expenditure in education in 2012. One of the measures adopted in this act is that university students have to cover between 15 % and 25 % of the real total cost of their studies (to be decided by each Autonomous Community). These urgent measures were implemented in the academic year 2012/13. |
