Universidad de Málaga: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Universidad de Málaga is a public university in Spain offering a small set of programmes at bachelor’s and master’s level. It suits applicants who want a public Spanish university with a focused catalogue rather than a broad subject list.

  2. What you can study

    The university offers 10 programmes across bachelor’s and master’s degree levels. Examples include Soziale Arbeit, Soziale Arbeit dual, Doppelstudium Soziale Arbeit + Praktische Theologie, Soziale Arbeit: Beratung und Case Management, Sozialwissenschaften: Migration und Integration, Praktische Theologie in Vollzeit, Praktische Theologie in Teilzeit, Gesundheit und Pflege, Quereinstieg Gesundheit und Pflege, and Pädagogik in Gesundheit und Pflege.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements, document list, deadlines, and any programme-specific conditions on its website. The university website is http://www.uma.es/.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a tuition fee range in the information available here; confirm the current fee for your programme and student category with its admissions office. As in most countries, you should also budget separately for living costs such as housing, food, transport, and insurance.

  5. Coming from abroad

    For students moving from abroad, the main questions to settle are the language of instruction for the programme you want, the exact admission documents required, and whether your previous qualifications are accepted for entry. The university does not publish extra international-student details here, so confirm these points on the official website before applying.

  6. How it compares

    Among Spain’s 98 universities, Universidad de Málaga stands out as a public option with a limited catalogue of 10 programmes and both bachelor’s and master’s degree levels. That makes it a better fit for applicants who already know the subject area they want, rather than those looking for a very wide choice of fields.
