WHAT IS BETTER - STUDY IN A STATE UNIVERSITY IN SPAIN OR IN A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY?

According to the response to our posts, we decided to continue the topic of obtaining a residence permit
for a student and today we will tell you about the difference between studying in public universities and
paid ones.

STATE
The cost of training is lower than in private; -There are various types of scholarships, thanks to which
training can be completely free. To receive financial assistance, not only academic performance is taken
into account, but also the economic situation of the student, his activity and integration into the life of the
educational institution;
The availability of a three-month or one-year study program at a foreign university based on Convenios
Internacionales in almost any country in the world, including the USA, Australia, Japan, South Korea,
China, etc .; Access to the ERASMUS program, that is, a year of being and studying in any European
country. This experience is incredibly appreciated by both students and employers, because this is how
extensive co-working takes place, the range of useful contacts expands, and, as practice shows, plays a
significant role in CV, especially when a student plans to work in an international company. Of course,
and when you open your own business;
Mandatory on-the-job training. Universities, as a rule, have a large base of companies where students
can do internships and then even find a job; Foreign students after graduation can apply for a residence
on the basis of búsqueda de empleo .
But there are also some disadvantages in studying at a state university. First of all, it is the complexity of
the receipt due to the huge demand. !! But! Now very valuable information! There is one solution, one
might say, a life hack - ACADEMIC TRANSLATION from a foreign university to Spanish (watch the
following posts) Also, in case of failure to pass the exam sessions in all subjects, the student could be
expelled. But this year there have been changes for the better. In general, according to the experience of
our friends, studying at a state university is still more difficult than at a private one.

PRIVATE The most obvious plus is the fairly simple enrollment, and in general, the study is noticeably
easier, especially for foreigners. Lots of programs in English. Another feature is that teachers are mainly
practicing specialists, not theorists.

As for the disadvantages, the first place is the cost of education. And one more important point - not all
private educational institutions are able to provide the necessary requisites for a student to apply for a
residence permit of the búsqueda de empleo type.
