Aish! The rush. Are you thinking of studying a university degree or master’s degree abroad? Then don’t miss this list of registration deadlines so you don’t arrive late to any selection process.

International universities do not follow the same enrolment deadlines as those in Spain. This means that many people miss out on the opportunity to choose the perfect university for their needs simply because they did not apply in a timely manner. How do we avoid this? By having a team that knows the enrolment deadlines of all universities. Easy peasy! 😉
