We aim to strengthen ties between British and Spanish universities by fostering discussion, research and the promotion of joint programmes. When a Spanish educational institution or university is looking for a partner in the UK (or vice versa), we work with them to help them find the right fit. Such collaboration often takes place through global programmes, such as the inter-university conference Going Global, or a series of conferences and debates involving perspectives from three or more countries.

Areas of common interest may include internationalisation programmes, the impact of higher education on its immediate environment, sustainability, or any other topic of global or country-specific interest. Further information can be found on our International Higher Education news page.

Every year, the British Council organises an international conference on higher education for experts in international education. Since its inception in 2004, Spanish higher education institutions have participated actively, sharing their expertise with over a thousand delegates from all corners of the world.

Workshops aimed at gaining a better understanding of collaboration opportunities, whether for student exchanges, joint degree programmes, articulation schemes or other initiatives. We also produce reports containing research on TNE or relevant information on accreditation in Spain, based either on our own research or expert opinions.

The new Vocational Training Act opens the door to greater and better collaboration with the United Kingdom. We will be working to promote these collaborations at both institutional and governmental levels.
