When a Latin American thinks about going to study in Europe, Spain is undoubtedly the first destination that comes to mind. The climate, the language, the cost of living and the idiosyncrasy are the driving forces behind this decision. In addition, it has a high educational quality of its institutions. On top of that, you have about 82 universities to choose from when you meet the requirements to study in Spain. Each one offers courses adapted to the needs of the market in Animation, Architecture, Biotechnology, Film or Engineering. In addition, the degrees are valid internationally. Another incentive is that it is possible to work! Study at the same time. Only 20 hours a week and with a complicated labor market, but you can do it.
