Countries like the Czech Republic, Croatia, Austria, Germany and UK are widely known for their educational institutions and every year thousands of students get admitted for a wide range of study programs to European universities due to its increasing popularity. London, Paris, Moscow are some of the widely publicised cities in Europe, closely following in their footsteps are Saint Petersburg, Madrid, Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, etc.

Once known to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World the modern European rail system spans the entire continent and provides efficient passenger and freight movement. There are numerous high speed rail passenger networks such as the TGV in France, LAV in Spain and even the Channel Tunnel that connects the United Kingdom with France. Depending on the distance the prices for passenger tickets are fairly reasonable and the services extremely competent giving locals and tourists an efficient mode of travel.

The bus is the cheapest mode of transport available in Europe. Though when compared to trains the bus service is slower, companies are now making them more convenient and comfortable by adding restrooms, wifi, online booking, etc.

With the large tourism industry, air travel is one of the widely used transportation methods for crossing borders. The major airports in Europe include London Heathrow, Istanbul, Paris-Charles De Gaulle, Frankfurt and Amsterdam Schiphol. With more and more low cost carriers coming up travelling between cities via air has become common place in Europe.

Though not as widely used for commercial purposes Europe also has excellent water transport systems. Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands is the largest port in Europe and one of the busiest ports in the world followed by the Port of Hamburg in Germany and the Port of Antwerp in Belgium.

The list of languages spoke all across Europe is long, it includes roman, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Latin to name a few. On a broader scale they are divided into three main language categories - romance, Germanic and Slavic. The romance languages are spoken in the western and Mediterranean parts of Europe where as the Germanic in central and northern areas leaving the Slavic to the eastern and southern parts of Europe.

The European culture is widely influenced by its art forms, from prehistoric art of sculptures and rock art to renaissance art, Baroque and Rococo. Hence it is not surprising that world famous art forms are scattered lavishly throughout the continent. The same applies to the varied heritage of European architecture as well with its world famous monuments and ancient buildings proudly showcasing the wealth of art that was always abundant in Europe.

The primary attraction for expatriates and students alike is how affordable it is to live in Europe. With abundant cheaper options for accommodation, transportation and food, European countries prove to be relatively low maintenance from its competitors like the US, Canada, Australia, etc. You may be surprised to know that in some countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, etc you can even study for free! With study programs starting from 1500 Euros per year and living costs as low as 250 to 300 Euros, Europe proves to be a dream study destination for the economical student.

The European education system has a very rich and long standing history of providing quality education for centuries. When most countries support private colleges/schools due to the high commercialization of the sector, the European system strives to keep education separate from business. It is their very commitment to providing high quality education to one and all that makes them a very favoured study destination among students.

If you are someone familiar with Europe, then it's very likely that you have come across the term Schengen visa or Schengen countries. The Schengen area comprises of 26 different countries in Europe that have come together on an agreement to provide unrestricted movement between their borders.

Out of the 26 Schengen countries, 4 are non EU countries. The EU Schengen countries include:

Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Lithuania, Portugal, Greece, Luxembourg, Spain, Hungary, Malta, Slovakia, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, Latvia, Poland and Sweden. The four non EU Schengen countries include: Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

The European Union is a political and economic union that share common rules and regulations and is made up of 28 countries. Each of the member states is subject to binding laws which hold the union together and there is free trade across borders to enhance their global economic growth. All countries in the union have the same currency - Euro (€).

In short the combination of Schengen and EU together or even separately gives students the advantage of mobility within the countries and hence more alternatives for their education and career. Within Europe they automatically get access to more alternatives for projects and internships for completing their academic requirements, more options for jobs and so on.

It is this very feature that increases the appeal of Europe for students wishing to study abroad, as with one single valid visa they can easily travel and study in any of the 26 European countries.

Higher education unlike others is a more specialised form of education. A student at this point in their educational career is looking to gain specific set of skills to aid his/her future. Which means the study programs taken up at this stage are require to being as practically implementable and relatable to real life situations as possible. Sadly it is found that most education systems around the world follow a very stringent theoretical system wherein students sit in classrooms read set textbooks and writes regular exams for a pre-determined period of time (2 to 3 yrs) at the end of which they receive a degree.

European education system is known to be very different from this traditional and understandably outdated study approach. With classrooms being highly advanced in infrastructure to course materials and requirements that emphasise on practical applications for a good 75 - 80%, European education constantly strives to provide a more hands-on experience to its student community. The entire European Union follows the Bologna System, which 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, Lithuania or the United Kingdom. Furthermore, in Europe most of the Higher Education is funded by the government and the students avails the benefits in terms of subsidised tuition costs nearly 1/10^th of the costs when compared to the other non European study destinations, application fee waivers, scholarships and bursaries meeting even the living expenses depending on various factors.
