10 reasons to study in Europe
Europe boasts one of the best jaw dropping architecture, rich heritage and culture, and don’t get me started on the vast variety of European cuisine…. But when it comes to higher studies, Europe boasts one of the leading universities and institutes which offer quality education to students. Moreover, various European countries are now offering courses purely in English so that more and more International students can benefit from studying in these universities. Infact, spending a semester abroad or pursuing higher studies in Europe is already very popular in countries like Canada and the USA. So why should you study in Europe? We have listed below 10 reasons which we think are the key objectives which one should keep in mind while thinking of studying in Europe.
1. Highest Salaries in the whole world : According to the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), 8 countries out of the top 10 countries with the highest salaries are in Europe!!! Countries like Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium and Norway are always on top when it comes to the top 10 countries with the highest salaries. All the Western European countries have an average salary of 40,000-60,000$ per year. And as the euro is rising day by day, the salaries of the employees in Europe are increasing.
2. Free education : If any other reason doesn’t motivate you, this should definitely persuade you to join a European university as soon as possible. All the public universities in Europe are funded by the European Union and offer free education even to International students. Moreover, the tuition fees in the private universities is between 5,000$-10,000$ per semester, which is way less as compared to tuition fees in countries like Canada and the USA.
3. Low living costs : All the European countries are cheap to live in. A student will need an average monthly allowance of around 500$ which will cover his accommodation and all the other necessary supplies. Some countries like Denmark, Finland and Sweden can be on the expensive side, but still are much affordable than Canada or the USA. Students can even find part time jobs which will further help them to cover their living expenses during their stay in Europe.
4. Career options : Many of the Multinational companies have their headquarters in various European countries. Companies like Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, etc. are from Germany; Electrolux, Huskvarna, Volvo, etc. are from Sweden; RedBull is from Austria; and Aston Martin, Bentley, etc. are from the UK. As a graduate you get to work at the headquarters of these prestigious companies and hence develop a promising professional career which is fruitful in the long run. Finding your dream job is a much simpler task in Europe due to the availability of so many opportunities.
5. Quality education : Europe boasts one of the strongest education systems in the entire world. Countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are always on the top 10 list when it comes to global university rankings. A lot of research scholarships are also available for students which help them gain quality knowledge in their respective fields of study.
6. Learn a new language : There are so many wonderful languages that can be learnt while studying in Europe. Language in Europe changes from country to country and this provides vast opportunity to master an international language. One can learn Spanish, German, Italian, French, Dutch and the list goes on….. And haven’t you heard the popular phrase, “If you want to say something, say it in French”.
7. Travel, travel, travel : Travel is so cheap in Europe that with just 20€ in your pocket, you can travel to a new country. Travel through bus is really cheap and the cheapest inter-country travel ticket can be bought for as low as 7€. Moreover, flight tickets of budget airlines like RyanAir can also be as low as 10€ per side. So, keep in mind that you will be travelling a lot while studying in Europe.
8. Continent of innovation : Remember playing the popular game Angry Birds, or Candy Crush? When someone thinks of the word innovation the first thing that comes to the mind is Asia or America due to their technology expertise. But a lot of companies like Skype, Spotify, Candy Crush, Minecraft and Angry Birds all come from Europe. And FYI, Sweden is regarded as the birthplace of technology which we use everyday!!!
9. Rich history and culture : Europe has far more history than some other countries like America which were discovered only after the 15th century. All the ancient buildings, the mesmerizing architecture takes you back to a trip to the medieval times. All the famous scientists, all the famous discoveries and inventions, have their roots in Europe. Remember Renaissance, the technological revolution that changed the world?
10. Food, lots of food : Europeans take pride in their cuisine. Infact, there is always a brawl when it comes to who invented cheese or wine. The Italians claim to have taught the whole Europe how to cook. Leaving all this aside, every European country is known for it’s vast variety of local cuisines. Be it the Greek souvlaki, the Belgian waffle, the Italian pizza, there is always something new and interesting for everyone. If you are a foodie, I bet you will never leave Europe!!!
