European universities have long been renowned for their high academic standards, cutting-edge research, and cost-effectiveness. Europe is home to 31 of the world’s top 100 institutions, according to The Times’ 2012 World University Rankings, making it the second largest bloc of universities after the United States.
In total, nearly 4000 Higher Education Institutions exist in Europe, offering a diverse range of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate-level courses. Universities in Europe are now better positioned than ever before to welcome international students and provide a course of study that meets their career needs in today’s global market, as more and more of these institutions adopt English as the language of instruction for at least some of their degree programmes.
Why Study in Europe?
This is especially visible at the graduate level: from slightly over 1000 in 2007 to over 5000 today, the number of English-taught Masters in mainland Europe has surged dramatically. Degree programmes taught in English are accessible in a wide range of areas, including Business and Economics (the most popular, accounting for around 28% of English-taught Masters in Europe), Engineering, Life Sciences (including medical), Social Sciences, and Humanities.
Benefits for international students for studying in Europe
If you’re seeking for a good centre of learning and academics, Europe has a lot to offer, with 50 countries dispersed throughout its land mass. Almost every European country is willing to accept international students.
At least ten European countries rank very high in rankings for university attractiveness to international students, according to an independent study choice web for European universities. The rankings evaluate the strength of colleges based on three pillars:
Education provided is of high quality.
Cost: a metric that considers both the cost of living (rent, food, etc.) and the average tuition rates paid by institutions.
Living & Career: This category assesses the quality of life experiences provided by universities in that country, as well as the likelihood of staying and working there after graduation.
Overall, Germany is the most appealing study destination for international students, followed by the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands. Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, and Italy are all in the top ten.
Affordable Education
International students who are concerned about cost have even more study options in Europe, according to the report. On the cost factor, Poland, Serbia, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Greece, Portugal, Lithuania, and Latvia all score very well. Germany is also in the top ten, with its universities offering an unrivalled combination of quality and cost for students interested in studying abroad (which is why it is ranked first in Europe overall). International students studying in Europe can anticipate to spend between EUR 7,000 and EUR 10,000 per year, which is significantly less than studying at universities in the United States, New Zealand, Canada, or Australia.
