Study in Europe
Europe offers several major advantages over other study destinations:
Quality
Rich in academic history and hosting the world’s oldest universities in continuous operation, Europe has a long-standing international reputation for academic excellence. Whether you plan to study Medicine in France, Engineering in Germany, or Industrial design in Italy, a degree from a European university stands for a quality education and will serve as an excellent foundation for your future career.
Affordability
Given the high value placed on knowledge and education in Europe, most courses and degrees are offered entirely free of charge or at a fraction of the fees charged by universities in the United States, Australia, or the UK. This offer also extends to overseas students and financial savings can be enormous – for what you pay in tuition fees alone in other parts of the world, an entire degree including all living and other costs can be obtained from a European university.
Diversity
Europe has always been characterized by its cultural, ethnic and national diversity and this is also reflected in the educational sector. Cross-cultural training and an international outlook are strongly emphasized and this has not only helped to facilitate a climate where international students are warmly welcomed, but is also reflected in the actual degrees and courses on offer. Starting with initial degree and course selections, Europe offers a near limitless amount of possibilities, ranging from diplomas and certificates of qualification to Bachelor, Master’s or PhD degrees and from popular subjects like Economics or Engineering to highly specialised courses such as Violin Building or Geo Information Technology. Furthermore, students also have the option to spend a semester or year “abroad” or can even choose to continue their academic career in another European country and thus have an opportunity to experience cultural diversity to an extent that isn’t available anywhere else in the world.
Personal Growth
Living, working and studying in Europe is as beneficial for your personal development as it is for your career. In today’s globalised working environment it is more important than ever to be able to interact with people from various cultural backgrounds in a respectful manner and to learn to adapt to different business cultures and there is no better place than Europe to develop the necessary skills for this. The European model of multiculturalism is based on the idea that various cultures should interact on a basis of equality rather than melt into a homogenous “European culture” and interaction between various ethnic and cultural groups is an integral part of everyday life. Even the need to learn another language can be seen as a positive in this regard – an increasing amount of companies already expect graduates to be able to speak at least two foreign language including English and there isn’t a better way to add another language to your CV than a stay in another country.
