International Study in Europe

Europe is increasing in popularity as a study destination for UK students who want something a little different. 

• With many hundreds of higher education institutions with strong reputations as centres of excellence around the world, it has taken a decade of effort to create the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) as an aid to reinforce the attractiveness of higher education in Europe.
• More than a decade of the Bologna Process has encouraged greater compatibility between universities and higher education systems in the 47 countries of the EHEA.
• English medium tuition helps to overcome the challenge of language at an increasing number of leading European universities.
