Granada, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, is known for the UNESCO-listed Alhambra, the Albaicín quarter and its large student population. With its tradition of free tapas with every drink, it is an economical and enjoyable city for students.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Granada. Granada has independent language schools, schools from groups such as Don Quijote, and the University of Granada's Spanish courses for foreigners.
In Granada you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one level of Spanish usually takes 4-8 weeks, and to reach a level where you can communicate in daily life we recommend a 2-4 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the visa and travel health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginners may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. July and August are the busiest months.
For study longer than 90 days, you apply to Spain's missions in Turkey for a long-stay student visa (visado de estudios). The application requires proof of enrolment on an intensive program, proof of funds, private health insurance and documents such as a police clearance; after arriving in Spain you apply for a foreigner's identity card (TIE).
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Student houses and shared flats are common in Granada; as a university city, demand rises at the start of the academic year.
Living costs in Granada are much lower than in Spain's big cities, and food and accommodation suit a student budget.
Buses serve Granada, and the historic centre is easy to walk. Trains and coaches make other cities easy to reach.
Granada has a continental-influenced climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, sunny winters.
Granada is reached from Turkey via Málaga or Madrid; buses or trains from Málaga take about 1.5-2 hours.
Because Spain uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Granada is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
