The Study in Europe website covers higher education in 33 European countries. Each country has its own individual higher education system – but all are part of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The EHEA system helps ensure that higher education systems across Europe are compatible - and that students, researchers and academics in Europe can collaborate and study or work abroad more easily. We continuously review thousands of programs from state-accredited institutions across Europe to help you begin your journey of studying in Europe.
