University students have a new statute and aid for creating student residences comes into effect

On October 22, university students in Spain began operating under a new Statute designed to enhance academic and personal support. The legislation introduces expanded rights regarding work-life balance and provides targeted assistance for students with disabilities or specific educational needs.

In addition to the new rights, the government has enacted measures to facilitate the creation of student residences. These initiatives include scholarship programs that account for the rising cost of housing, aiming to address financial barriers to higher education access.
