Goodbye Essex, Hello Europe

Interested in studying abroad in Europe? Join the final session for Europe to learn more about Belgium, Italy, France, Malta, Spain and Portugal.

Europe is a great study abroad destination, allowing you to immerse yourself into a new culture and country whilst being only a few hours from the UK by plane. The short distance doesn’t mean it’ll be the same as Essex, though.

Wherever in the world you choose to study abroad, there’s a good chance it’ll be a lot different to Essex and it's useful (and really important) to get to grips with how things work in different countries if you're considering applying to a university in that country for your year abroad (just to make sure it’s definitely right for you).

We’ll discuss:

  • Expectations vs. Reality
  • Visa and insurance details
  • Costs related to studying in Europe
  • Accommodation
  • Education systems
  • Funding opportunities
  • Term dates & how the academic year works
  • Travel opportunities
  • Universities we’re partnered with in that region
  • Q&A

We’ll also be joined by students who studied abroad in Europe last year and will give you an honest insight into their time abroad.

Book your place on this session as soon as possible – there are limited spaces.
