Why choose Spain to study journalism?

Spain has some of the largest media groups in the world. The PRISA and MEDIASET groups are among the most powerful. By studying in Spain, you will have direct contact with professionals from these major groups. And, of course, you’ll have great opportunities if you’re in Spain and speak fluent Spanish. It’s also an open door to South America!

What level of Spanish is needed to study journalism in Spain?

Unlike other courses, where the language aspect is still important but not as decisive, in journalism you need at least a B2 level to be able to study in Spain.

This is a very demanding course in terms of language skills, and you will need to be able to write, understand and express yourself in Spanish without any mistakes. What’s more, you’ll have to speak on radio and television, which adds a certain amount of stress and requires an excellent command of the Spanish language.

With a good level of Spanish, is it enough to study journalism in Spain?

Speaking good Spanish is the basis for studying journalism in Spain. However, you also need a very good knowledge of the country, its history, its culture (both ancient and recent), its political and administrative organisation and its current affairs. You will be in the company of Spanish students who have different cultural backgrounds to your own. And this will have an impact on your studies, especially at the beginning. Your own personal culture could be a strength. But a lack of Spanish culture could be a weakness, so you also need to be familiar with Spanish culture. This will enable you to study with complete peace of mind.
