Spanish university enrollment and academic expansion

Overview

Spanish universities continue to expand their academic offerings and international presence for the 2026/27 academic year. The University of Alcalá (UAH) has integrated approximately 294 international students, many from European nations like Italy, through welcome activities involving the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) and the European University Alliance (EUGLOH).

Academic competition remains high at several institutions. The University of Oviedo has released its final admission lists, noting that its double degree in Software Computer Engineering and Mathematics is the most competitive, requiring a minimum grade of 13.000. Other high-demand fields include Medicine (12.900), Dentistry (12.740), and Biotechnology (12.466).

Curricular diversification continues with UNED announcing several new programs. In addition to its previously announced Artificial Intelligence Engineering degree, UNED is introducing degrees in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, as well as double degrees in Mathematics and Physics, Psychology and Criminology, and Economics and Mathematics. These specific programs utilize a hybrid model of online teaching and in-person tutoring and do not require minimum grades beyond passing the EBAU or holding a Higher Vocational Training degree.
