Choosing a Study Location

A selection of articles that describe the highlights and benefits of different study locations in Europe. Each list item is a link to a matching document.

Switzerland - the Heart of Western Europe
Switzerland is often associated with alpine ski resorts, fine clocks, chocolate and penknives, and for the world's "secretive" banks. Some stereotypes are accurate- as London is known for it's black cabs, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. But looking deeper at Switzerland it's clear that this is a fascinating and challenging place to study.

Hungary - Higher Education Programs in English
Some Hungarian universities have started complete education programmes in English for foreign students in the last 15-20 years. These programmes are closely connected to the Hungarian ones, comprising the same curriculum.

Luxembourg - Graduates' Best Kept Secret
Luxembourg is an ideal location for recent graduates with a degree in business or economics, looking to gain first-hand experience in an international environment. Luxembourg is a major financial centre, boasting the greatest banking concentration within the European Union, thus providing an opportunity for young graduates to gain experience in a multi-cultural environment, with exposure on an international level.

Study in the Netherlands - Your Gateway to Europe
Thanks to various programmes of international cooperation, increasing numbers of foreign students are coming to the Netherlands to complete all or part of their studies, or to pursue a doctorate.

Why Study in the Netherlands?
The challenge in the Netherlands is to be a team player and an independent thinker in the internationally renowned Dutch system of Higher Education. Dutch Masters programmes correspond with international systems such as the Anglo-Saxon, but also feature some important extras in comparison.

Sweden - Degrees of Quality
Sweden is one of the most prosperous countries in the world, situated in northern Europe. With a population of only 8.7 million and a total area of 450,000 km squared, it offers both modern urban life and the opportunity to enjoy vast natural expanses.

The Dutch Option
The Dutch is a polyglot country. They are proud of their own language and culture. But travellers soon find out that anyone - from shop assistants to prime ministers - switch to English as soon as non-Dutch speakers are present.

Studying in the Political City of Maastricht
One of the foremost attractions in the southernmost part of the Netherlands is Maastricht itself. It is a beautiful old town, a business provincial capital and a city that has preserved its hospitable international character through the centuries. Maastricht is a city with plenty to offer.

Denmark - Gateway to Europe
Denmark is situated on the northern flank of continental Europe, with some 5 million inhabitants. It consists of the peninsula Jutland, which projects from the European mainland like a jagged tooth, plus more than 400 islands, the biggest of which are Funen and Sealand, where Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark is situated. Denmark is a flat country whose highest point reaches 173 metres in the air.

Postgraduate Studies in Finland
Finland is an increasingly popular destination for post-graduate students. The great quantity of graduate courses taught in English, with internationally competitive expertise in many fields, combined with the high standard of facilities for students, add to the attractiveness of Finnish universities.

Switzerland - The bare essentials
So you've decided that you want to go and study in Switzerland. Once you've established where and what it is that you want to study, you'll soon have other questions that need answering, such as what's the exchange rate? Or what will I eat once I'm there?
