Abstract
Although Spain is our closest neighbor, we notice that in the education sector, we have many differences. Even if this country is knows for parties or corridas, we may find several very famous universities such as the universities of Madrid, Bilbao, Alicante, and Barcelona. In fact, in the ranking of the top 100 European universities, Spain is between the 57th and the 78th place with the University of Barcelona. We have chosen this country because we notice an important trend of students taking an interest in studying in Spain. It thus seemed important to us to know more about its higher education system, so as to explain this phenomenon. In the first part, we will present the structure and the organization of the Spanish higher education system. We will then deal with the different degrees and diplomas obtainable in Spain. In the third part, we will speak about the Spanish recruitment system, and to conclude, we will introduce you two of the most famous Spanish universities. Moreover, we will illustrate our work by the most important differences between French and Spanish systems.
