Studying and working in Spain. A student guide

Book abstract:

After the Gap years and the well-thumbed copies of Rough Guides and Lonely Planets this volume deals with the important stuff for students embarking on study or work in Spain.

Part 1 gives a background to contemporary Spain: restoration of democracy, the creation of autonomous regions, an overview of the education system and structure of higher education, the where and what of Spanish universities. Part 2 is a tick list of what, when and hows to do before departure with comprehensive guidance for work in Spain and the related issues. Part 3 is a directory of Spain's sixty seven universities and the towns in which they are located - students of Rough Guides will find it's easy-to-read style helpful and familiar.

The guide is essential reading for students of Hispanic Studies, European Studies or anyone planning to study or work in Spain.

Michael Newton works as a freelance Hispanist. He was formerly Head of Spanish at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle. Graham Shields is the subject librarian for Modern Languages at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle.
