Universidad de Málaga - Becas Acreditacion Niveles Idiomas

What you get

You get back up to 300 EUR per language certificate. This covers what you spent on a language course and/or the exam. You can claim a maximum of 2 grants in total, including any from earlier rounds. The money comes from the University of Malaga (UMA), funded by the regional government of Andalusia, with a total pot of 61,150 EUR for the 2025/2026 cycle. It reimburses one of three things: reaching the language level your degree requires (B1 or higher in a first foreign language), a higher level (B2 or above) once you already meet that requirement, or a second foreign language (B1 or higher). The higher-level and second-language options are only paid if money is left after the required-level claims are covered.

Who can apply

• University: You are enrolled in an official Bachelor's degree (Grado) at the University of Malaga in 2025/2026.
• Financial need: You hold a general state study grant (beca general) from the Spanish ministry, or from the Basque or Navarre education authorities, for 2024/2025 or 2025/2026.
• Real costs: You paid for a language course and/or an exam during your Bachelor's studies and can show the invoices and receipts.
• Certificate: You obtained the language level you are claiming, from UMA's list of recognised certificates, and it is recorded before 30 September 2026.
• Language: Any foreign language counts, at level B1 or higher.

How to apply

You apply online through the student portal (portalestudiante.uma.es). The window runs from 9:00 on 10 July until 14:00 on 30 September 2026. Students at UMA's affiliated centres apply through the university's electronic office or in person at the general registry instead. Grants are awarded by competition. Required-level claims come first. If the money runs short, priority goes to students closest to finishing their degree (fewest ECTS credits left), and grade average breaks any ties.
