💡 Enrolment (matrícula) is done at the secretaría or online in a set period; you need a document, the diploma of previous education and a photo; the fee is per credit (créditos).
💡 For a Ukrainian diploma to be recognised in Spain you need a homologación: a long procedure with an apostille and a sworn translation; start in advance.
💡 Scholarships (becas) have strict deadlines (plazo) and require documents about family income; ask at the secretaría or on the education ministry site in advance.
💡 The cost of study is made of credits (créditos) you enrol in for the year; payment can be split into plazos (instalments) if you ask at the secretaría.
💡 A certificate of grades is a certificado de notas or certificación académica: the secretaría issues it in a few days; for official use it may need a stamp or digital signature.
💡 A subject in your enrolment can be changed (modificación de matrícula) only in a short period at the start of a term; if you miss it you wait for the next term.
💡 The student card (carné universitario) is your pass to the library and canteen, sometimes also for transport discounts.
💡 A lecture room is an aula, a floor is piso or planta, a corridor is pasillo; the timetable is usually posted at the entrance or in the university app.
💡 A library book is borrowed on your card (carné) and returned by the due date (fecha de devolución); for lateness the library may suspend borrowing.
💡 In most libraries you can book a group room (sala de trabajo en grupo) online or at the desk, usually for two hours.
