This encompasses all individuals – regardless of nationality – crossing borders into Spain for educational purposes.

Foreign Student: Students with a nationality other than Spanish pursuing higher education in Spain regardless of residency status.

Outbound Student: Students enrolled in Spanish higher education institutions who pursue exchange or short-term education abroad.
