Portugal is an easygoing country. People here always find time for things like surfing, dinners with friends, a cup of coffee and long conversations. If you study in Portugal, make the most of the great coastline and the warm weather. The country is cheap, cheerful, and lots of fun. The parties go on until sunrise, sometimes beyond that.

Spain is a country for those who want to make the most out of every moment: to eat well, to drink often, to dance a lot. The tapas and sangria are the stuff of legends, the restaurants buzz, and all the locals love to party.

Studying in Italy is probably the best opportunity you’ll ever have to explore a country where every city is fascinating. Get ready, though. Nobody escapes that awesome “pasta, pizza and birra” diet without gaining a few pounds!

Besides all the other great cities and small towns, if you come to study in France, consider studying in Paris. It’s possibly the most beautiful city in the world.

Studying in Germany will open several doors for your future, regardless of whether you're here for just a semester or a whole year. It's easy to have a great life while studying in Germany.

Practically everyone speaks English, so you'll have no trouble meeting new people at university or exploring the country's vibrant nightlife!

Studying in Berlin is one of the most eye-opening experiences out there. With its hipster culture and after-parties that go on for days: Berlin is the best city to explore just who you are.

Leipzig is the most populous city in the German federal state of Saxony, Frankfurt is Germany’s financial heart.
