Spain has two main university intakes: September, the primary intake covering most bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD programmes, and February, a smaller intake offered by some universities for selected courses. For Indian students targeting 2027, September 2027 applications typically open between November 2026 and January 2027 and close between April and June 2027.<\/p>\n

Picking an intake is only the first step. Indian applicants also need to plan around supporting documents, proof of funds under Spain’s IPREM rule, and a student visa<\/a> that must be submitted at least two months before the course starts.<\/p>\n

This guide gives you the 2027 dates, the deadlines that matter, and a month-by-month plan.<\/p>\n

Which Spain Intake Is Best for Indian Students?<\/h2>\n

For most Indian students, September is the better choice. It fits the Indian academic calendar, offers the most courses, and lines up with most scholarship cycles. February works well as a backup or for students who need more preparation time.<\/p>\n
