Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain, is a sovereign state and a member state of the European Union. It is located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. Spanish universities regulate access to their degrees, and they fix the academic fees. They can also offer unofficial postgraduate degrees. Madrid has the largest number of bars per capita of any European city and a very active nightlife.

There are a few potential benefits to looking into a graduate pathway for students who know they want more than a simple bachelor’s degree. One example is that this choice may help the student specialize and prepare for advanced courses.
