What you should know if you want to study in Europe

Michael NzeribeLeave a comment

Before packing your bags and planning your trip, you should consider different variables.

  • Studying abroad is getting easier.
  • Students looking for new experiences can find out about a wide variety of things before they travel.
  • Which country is more convenient? What university? What topics are recommended to study?

Studying abroad is the dream of thousands of students, who each year set themselves the goal of taking on new challenges and improving their learning at the best universities in the world. Thanks to all the access to information available from international universities and different scholarship programs, embarking on the journey is becoming easier.

Training abroad is an ideal way to get to know new destinations, explore cultures other than your own and explore what life is like away from your comfort zone. In addition, it allows adding a highly valuable experience to the CV, which will indicate to companies that the candidate is capable of successfully adapting to new contexts.

In other words, studying abroad is not only an unbeatable personal experience but also a way to open up paths in the professional field.

Among the destinations most chosen by young people, European countries represent a large percentage. The idea of ​​getting to know some of the most visited countries in the world and going through the history of cosmopolitan cities leads thousands of students to choose to study in Europe.

Are you going to study abroad? Did you choose Europe as a destination? Here are some of the things you should know before you travel:

Choose a country

Choosing a destination is never easy because, after all, it implies ruling out others. But doing so is unavoidable. The good news is that, even if you select one, you will always have other destinations nearby to visit.

The choice of country will largely depend on the language you speak, so if you only speak Spanish, it is advisable to opt for countries like Spain where you will have no problems adapting. If you speak English, French or other languages ​​then you can consider more options.

If you handle languages, the most useful way to choose an educational destination is to check the World University Ranking that the company Quacquarelli Symonds carries out every year. This includes the best universities in the world ranked by country, so you can choose a country based on the number of prestigious universities it has.

According to this, the United Kingdom is undoubtedly the best European destination to study, as it has 76 centers in the classification. Germany with 45,  France with 39, and Spain with 23 universities in the ranking are other leading European destinations.

Study at the best universities

If you are going to make the effort to study outside your comfort zone, you must ensure that the investment is worth it. Therefore, it is best to train in the best universities.

The fastest, easiest, and most reliable way to choose a good university is to review -again- the World University Ranking. In this publication, 800 university centers around the world are analyzed, placing the best in the first positions.

According to the 2018 edition of this ranking, the best European universities are:

  • University of Cambridge
  • Oxford University
  • University College London
  • Imperial College and London
  • Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
  • Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne
  • University of Edinburgh
  • King’s College London
  • University of Manchester
  • London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

Which studies to choose?

Clearly, this will depend on your vocation and what you decide to study. However, if you are still not sure what your ideal profession is, there are some areas of study that are especially important for the new global context that European universities can offer.

Studies linked to the area of ​​Computer Science, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence are clear examples of infallible topics when deciding on a career. These studies not only provide access to employment today but also guarantee it in the future.
