Brief introduction of Spanish higher education for studying abroad

The Spanish government attaches great importance to education and implements 10 year compulsory education (6 years in primary school and 4 years in secondary school).

Spanish higher education is divided into three stages:

1, the first stage of education (short-term, that is? University stage? )。 This kind of study is career-oriented, and you can get a college diploma after completing this stage of study. In some cases, college graduates continue to study in the second stage of education in similar disciplines, or they can directly or indirectly enter the second stage of undergraduate education by studying other supplementary courses.

2, the first and second stages of education (long-term, that is, completed? Undergraduate stage? )。 This kind of study is divided into two stages, but after passing the first stage, no graduation certificate will be issued, which does not mean that the whole study is completed or there are special professional qualifications. Only when students have completed all two stages of study can they obtain the corresponding undergraduate diploma, that is, a bachelor's degree in literature or a bachelor's degree in engineering and architecture.

3, the third stage of education (i.e.? Graduate student or doctor? )。 Students with a bachelor's degree in arts or a bachelor's degree in engineering or architecture can enter this stage of study. Postgraduate study first includes two-year courses. At the end of the two-year course, students can obtain an advanced academic certificate, which is recognized by all universities in Spain, indicating that students have enough knowledge about a certain major and are qualified to write doctoral thesis. After that, students who want to get a doctorate should continue their academic research. After completing and passing the doctoral thesis, students can obtain a doctoral degree in the corresponding academic field.

Government decrees stipulate the length of each stage of university study. Generally speaking, the first stage of education lasts for 3 years, during which you should get 180-270 credits. The first and second stages of education (i.e.? Undergraduate course? ) The length is 4, 5 and 6 years, and each stage is at least 2 years (2-3 years in the first stage and 2-3 years in the second stage). You have to complete 300-450 credits during the whole school period before you can graduate. Only the second stage of education (that is, only for? Two years after Big Ben? ) It is 2 years, during which you should get 120- 150 credits. In the third stage of education (that is? Graduate student or doctor? ), students must get at least 32 credits, that is, at least 20 credits in the teaching stage and at least 12 credits in the research thesis stage.
