The education level of Spanish universities is world-class, but due to the high level of young people, Spanish universities have always been able to accept only a small number of foreign students. At present, Spain is becoming more and more prosperous, and universities are willing to recruit more foreign students. The learning level and diligent attitude of China students are well known in Spain. In view of this, Spanish universities decided to give priority to China students. Primary and secondary schools implement free compulsory education (6- 16 years old), with 6 years in primary school, 4 years in middle school and 4-5 years in university. In 2002, education expenditure accounted for 4.5% of GDP, most of which was invested by the public sector. Institutions of higher learning mainly include Complutense University of Madrid, University of Salamanca and Central University of Barcelona. The Spanish education system is very different from that in China. Schools at all levels adopt the school year segmentation system, and obtain a bachelor's degree after graduating from high school. Let's briefly introduce their school-running situation and characteristics.

● University profile: Spanish universities are divided into seven academic years and taught in three stages. The first to third academic years are the first stage, focusing on general education and instilling knowledge of human geography. The fourth and fifth academic years are the second stage, granting professional training, completing all the courses in the second stage, and passing the exam, that is, obtaining a master's degree, then receiving two years of research, handing in papers and passing the exam.

● Possibility of foreign students studying in western countries, and general situation of China students studying in western countries. All universities in Spain welcome foreign students to study. Moreover, based on the promotion of its history and culture, western governments are affirmative and supportive of visiting international students, but the admission methods are different due to objective factors:

1. Freshmen: All foreign students with high school diplomas from their home countries can apply for university study after being approved by the Spanish Ministry of Education, and the colleges, schools and disciplines they attend are freely chosen by the students.

2. Make-up credits: Foreign students have received university education in their own countries, but not all the courses they have studied are recognized by the Spanish Ministry of Education. Therefore, they need to make up some courses that are not recognized by universities before they can be awarded a master's degree.

3. Doctoral program research: The doctoral program of Spanish universities allows students who have completed their master's degrees abroad to study doctoral programs, but they still have to undergo academic certification. After being approved by the Ministry of Education in the west, he registered a doctoral program in colleges and universities to complete the subjects specified in the special research. Usually, it takes two years. After passing the exam and submitting their papers, they can get a doctorate from the university.

4. Spanish study: Spanish universities usually offer Spanish study courses, which are designed for foreign students and usually last for one year. Public language schools can enroll students as long as they think they have the interest and ability to learn. As long as they pass the exam, they can get the school diploma. Private language schools specialize in teaching foreigners to learn Spanish, mainly to strengthen their conversational skills in Spanish, as well as other elective courses, such as Spanish culture, history and business Spanish.

5. Conservatory of Music and Dance School: The level of music in Spain is quite famous and high in Europe. The music and dance nurtured in Spain's unique scenery have attracted the interest of countless fans and interested learners. In terms of conservatories, there are about 43 conservatories of different sizes in Spain, among which the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid and Barcelona Conservatory of Music are the most famous. The courses studied in the Conservatory of Music can be divided into three stages. Students have obtained junior, middle and advanced art diplomas through various stages of study. As for foreigners entering the conservatory of music, they need to take the ability appraisal exam and study according to the level they can enter. There are about seven dance schools in Spain, the most famous of which are Real Madrid Advanced Dance School and Barcelona Advanced Dance School.

6. Art education: Spanish art is quite famous in Europe, and there are art schools or decoration schools in major cities to train artistic talents.

7. Tourism Department: Tourism has always been valued by Europe, so Spain has set up tourism schools in major cities to train tourism administrative personnel. Usually, it takes about three years for foreign students to study tourism courses.
