But studying in Europe is not just a degree, it’s an unmatched experience. Students often research a lot to get into European universities where they can get recognition worldwide.

Why Study In Europe

1. Study in Europe: the boost for your career

International experience has become more and more important in recent years. Large and small companies alike look for employees who have left their “comfort zone”. By studying abroad in Europe, you set the course for your career success. Many European countries also make an effort to convince foreign graduates to stay after university. That means if you decide to study in Europe, the chances are good that you will get a job offer and can stay for the longer term.

2.Europe offers world-class education and research

Many of the world’s best universities are located in Europe. Cross-border cooperation within Europe has shaped a strong international academic community that conducts cutting-edge research.

3. A wide range of education options

There are thousands of universities in Europe, offering tens of thousands of study programmes in English. You can find programmes in any academic discipline from Arts to Zoology; small, intimate universities or large international research centres; cutting edge academic research programmes or practice-oriented taught education. There is something for everybody.

4. Tuition fees are low

Compared to countries like the US, Canada or Australia, the tuition fees at most public universities in Europe are very low. In some European countries, there aren’t even any tuition fees - studying at university is free of charge! There are also lots of scholarship opportunities and other options for financial support during your studies.

5. It is easy to travel and discover the whole continent

When you study in Europe, you should use the chance to see more countries than just one. Thanks to a wealth of cheap flight, train and bus connections, and relatively short travel times, that is even possible on a limited student budget and with tight semester schedules.

If you are a non-European citizen studying within the Schengen Area of 26 European states, then you can easily obtain a student visa allowing you to visit other countries of the Schengen Area. Think of all the great experiences you can gain even far away from campus.

6. The higher education systems are well-respected and aligned

Thanks to the Bologna process of reforms, the national higher education systems of all European countries have been aligned. That means that any Bachelor or Master in Europe follows the same general academic framework. So, if you obtain your Master’s degree in Sweden, it will be equivalent to a Master’s degree from Germany and Lithuania.

7. You can study in English

There are several Bachelors and Masters courses in English that you can choose from. In most European countries, proficiency in English is good.

Study Work Permit

In most EU countries, working while studying is totally possible. Either with a student visa or with a student work permit you will be allowed to work, generally part-time during the school year and full-time during holidays.

Countries with the best student-work permit conditions

A key aspect to take into account if you want to work while studying is how relaxed are the ‘work and study’ rules. These rules are not the same in all the European Union. Some countries have stricter rules and a more complicated process which makes it more challenging to work there.

For example, you might need to get a special work permit. Also, you might only be able to work 10-15 hours per week which might not be enough if you want to earn decent pay.

But there are also European countries where it’s very easy and rewarding to work as a student if you come from the U.S. These countries are:

Sweden

In Sweden, you only need a valid student visa to be able to work. Plus there’s no restriction regarding how much you can work, as long as you dedicate at least 40 hours per week to your studies. Wages in Sweden are also more than attractive, the average being 2,500 USD/ month.

Estonia

In Estonia, you also only need a student visa to work during your studies. But what makes it appealing is that you can stay and work an additional six months if you get your university permission after you finish your studies.

There’s no restriction regarding how much you can work provided you have passing grades. The average salary is about 1,400 USD per month before taxes.

Denmark

The student visa in Denmark includes the right to work 20 hours/ week during the school year and full-time during school breaks.

Even if it’s part-time work the pay is more than rewarding with the average pay being 16 USD/hour. That means about 1,280 USD/month for a part-time job.

France

In France, you can work part-time with a valid student visa. You are allowed to work 20 hours a week off-campus, but if you find a job on campus you can work more. Per year, you can up to 60% from the legal annual working hours – meaning you can work more on holidays.

In France, there is a guaranteed minimum salary, which is 10 USD/gross per hour. For a month of part-time work, you are guaranteed to make at least 800 USD.

Ireland

You do not need a work permit to work part-time in Ireland, provided you have a Stamp 2 Permission on your visa.

You can work up to 20 hours/week during the school year and full-time during school breaks. The part-time salary in Ireland can reach about 800 USD/ gross/ month. Sounds like a deal? Here are some Irish schools you should check out:

Finland

In Finland, you are allowed to work 25 hours a week during school term and full-time during school breaks without needing a work permit. Salaries for part-time jobs usually start at 500 USD/month. Check these universities out, if Finland is where you want to work and study:

The United Kingdom

You can work part-time in the UK as long as you have Tier 4 student visa. The average part-time wage across the UK is 600 USD a week. In London, it is generally higher, about 800 USD. If this fits your plans, here are some universities we recommend in the UK:

Norway

You do not need a work permit for the first year of your studies in Norway. However, after the first year, you have to renew it and provide additional documents. Part-time workers earn an average of 4,000 USD/month. However, note that most Norwegian jobs require knowing the Norwegian language.

Germany

Germany is also a country where you can work part-time as long as you have a valid student visa. Wages for a part-time job start at about 500 USD/month. The good part is that living costs in Germany are one of the lowest in Western Europe.
