News archive - New website promotes studying in the EU to incoming students
The European Commission has launched a new web portal called Study in Europe to promote universities across the EU to students from other parts of the world. The portal, at www.study-in-europe.org, is part of a campaign to boost the number of students from outside Europe who study in the EU.
Information is available for all EU countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
Europe has more than 4,000 higher education institutions, from top-level research establishments to small, teaching-focused colleges. It provides details of 32 European countries, their universities and what is required to live and study in them are available in the portal, including admission procedures, costs, scholarships and the higher education environment in Europe.
Since the adoption of the Bologna Declaration in 1999, Europe’s higher education has entered a new phase of reform, aligning degree structures and opening the door to the mutual recognition of qualifications and cross-border periods of study. A comprehensive quality control process is planned for 2010.
