    The European Union provides the best conditions for successful higher education studies in a challenging and friendly atmosphere. In addition Europe offers students exposure to varied and interesting cultures and the opportunities associated with strong and innovative economies.

    Why study in Europe?

    1. Great intellectual and technical innovations have made Europe what it is today: a leader in areas of the liberal arts, in design and fashion, in banking and financing, in the media and in telecommunications technologies.

    2. Europe is an important centre of innovation and a driving force behind scientific progress with highly regarded universities and institutes of education guaranteeing an unparalleled standard of teaching.

    3. In Europe you will find an astounding mosaic of universities and institutions of higher education. No matter what your personal preference – whether scientific or technical, the liberal arts or business and economics – you can attend the courses you need for your future career.

    4. In the EU you find qualified higher education and training directly connected to business, industry and on-the-job work experience.

    5. You can expect excellent education systems that can serve as a springboard to your future career. European higher education institutions regularly undergo quality control reviews and meet the highest international standards.

    6. Education is considered a basic right and great effort is undertaken to ensure that the more than 6,000 higher education institutions are open to anyone with the appropriate qualifications.

    7. Tuition fees either do not exist or are very modest if charged.

    8. European universities are becoming increasingly internationalised. Already, more than 100,000 students from Asia alone are currently studying at higher learning institutions throughout the European Union.

    9. No need to learn a new language if you do not want to. English is sufficient in most EU universities.

    10. During study breaks, you can also enjoy the vibrant life of modern Europe: contemporary music trends, modern dance, avant-garde theatre, or fashion. Study in Europe and enjoy Europe’s varied and cosmopolitan traditions!
