Why should I study in Europe?
THE EUROPEAN EDUCATION SYSTEM IS WELL-KNOWN FOR ITS QUALITY
At Eduropa OÜ, we are interested that our future students clearly understand the educational methodologies used in Europe, which is why we have created this section.
Europe is full of incredible cities, each with their own unique style and culture. Students who study in Europe can enjoy studying in a variety of different countries while having access to job opportunities around the world. It’s no wonder that so many international students choose to study in Europe!
While European cities are known for their rich history and culture (think: art galleries, museums and landmarks), they’re also great places to live if you’re looking for an affordable lifestyle with fewer crowds than major U.S. cities. And if you want to travel around Europe after your degree program ends? You’ll find plenty of things to do!
Education in Europe is of a high quality and affordable. The European Union (EU) is a hub of international education, with more than 500 universities that offer degrees in English and thousands more offering courses taught in other languages. Students from around the world come to study in Europe because they know they’ll get an excellent education at low cost.
Europe’s universities are renowned for their research, teaching methods, facilities and campus life. If you choose to study abroad as an international student at one of these institutions then you can be sure that your time will be well spent both academically and socially; there are plenty of activities available on campus such as sports clubs or student societies which will help make your experience even richer!
European education is well-known for its quality and has a high international reputation. The European Higher Education Area aims to ensure that all higher education institutions in Europe offer a minimum standard of academic excellence, regardless of whether they are private or public, large or small and whatever their national context may be. In addition, there are also many other initiatives that aim to improve the quality of higher education in Europe such as:
- The Bologna Process (1999), which aimed at creating the world’s first truly international system of higher education qualifications;
- EQF (European Qualifications Framework), a classification system used by all member states within EU/EEA countries and others.
WORK AND STUDY AT THE SAME TIME
One of the most attractive features of studying in Europe is that you can work part-time and study at the same time. This is especially true if you are from an international country, where it’s common to have a part-time job while studying.
In fact, there are many universities that allow students to work full time during their studies as well as having access to some kind of scholarship or grant for international students. This means that you will be able to earn money while getting your degree!
AFFORDABLE PRICES
You can get either an English Course, a Bachelor or Master’s degree in Europe for a fraction of the cost of studying in the United States or Canada, pretty similar to what you would be paying back home for a private university. Tuition fees for international students are similar than those charged to domestic students, and you may still be able to apply for partial scholarships in the majority of the programs we work with at Eduropa OÜ.
The cost of living is also relatively low compared with other major global cities like New York or Toronto – and we help our students on finding the accommodation! If you’re looking for somewhere cheap but not too far from campus, consider renting an apartment with other international students.
Permanent residency in Europe at the end of your studies.
If you plan to stay in Europe after your studies you will be able to do so with our help, most countries in Europe allow their former international students to remain in the country for more than a year while they find a job after graduation. Permanent residency allows you to live and work in any EU country without having another visa or residence permit.
Permanent residency takes time; it varies depending on the country where you live, but in general:
It can take up to six months after graduation before they issue a decision on your application.
Once granted, permanent residency lasts for five years (or longer if it’s renewed).
There are different types of legal statuses depending on what type of status or document(s) were issued: card-based national identity cards; registration certificates; residence permits issued by local authorities or diplomatic missions (EU citizens only); temporary protection visas from certain countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq; student residence permits issued by universities according to their own rules (usually valid for one year).
We hope that this section has helped you to understand why you should be interested in studying in Europe. The European education system is well-known for its quality and affordable prices, making it an excellent choice for many international students.
