SPAIN

Sunny Spain sits on most of what is known as the Iberian Peninsula. To the west of this majestic country lies Portugal; France and Andorra lie at the northeastern border along the Pyrenees mountain range. Spain is not a landlocked territory, therefore the Mediterranean sea stretches from the southern end to the eastern border of the country.

​

Many Spaniards are descended from the early settlers of the Iberian Peninsula, the Celts, and later conquerors from Europe and Africa, therefore most of them share a common ethnic background. The country has become more diverse as immigrants from areas such as Africa and South America have increased in number in the country. This has made Spain a diverse country. The Spaniards are known to be a warm and welcoming people, and this is one of the factors that has resulted in Spain being known as the number 1 study destination for international students. ​

​

The Spanish education for undergraduates and postgraduates is widely diversified and of very high quality. A résumé for a graduate  will earn points with an educational experience in Spain regardless of the length of studies in the country. CEU Universities of Spain have offered postgraduate education for over 40 years. The academic education proposed in Spain is designed to assist students to get ahead in a global world.

​

Spain is a parliamentary monarchy with a king and a president who both share power. Though parliament is national, Spain has 17 regions. Each region has the responsibility of managing the schools, hospitals and public services within its territory. Due to the diversity in these regions and cities, Spain is the second country that attracts most tourists than any other countryin Europe, only after France and it has the 8th largest economy in the world.
