Work rules in Spain
Spanish immigration rules allow student-stay holders to combine study with part-time work under conditions set by current regulations, and graduates may be able to move to a job-search or entrepreneurship residence route. Confirm the current hours limit and eligibility with the immigration authorities before relying on work income.
Use institutional career support
Ask universities about internships, career services, employer partnerships and graduate outcomes for your field.
Plan beyond graduation
Graduate residence and employment routes are separate from admission. Start checking them well before student status ends.
