Why study in Europe

Many European countries offer free or low-costeducation tointernational students. Lower fees don’t meanthat the quality of education is inferior. European countries spend 20% of their GDP on education and research for top quality education not only to their citizens, but to foreign students as well. Most of the Universities in European countries are with very high international standards and most of them rank around in top 100.

Unique European Credit Transfer System

According to this system the credits can be transferred from one university to another in the same country as well as other universities of other countries as well if the students transfer from one university to another.

Each country follows their individual higher education system, but all are a part of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). EHEA ensures that higher education systems across Europe are compatible with one another and that students, researchers and academicians in Europe can collaborate to study or work together more smoothly.

Qualifications across Europe are comparable through the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). Most study programs involve lectures and classes, with assessment through essays, exams and coursework. Some also include internshipsor work on industry-related projects.
