Why Europe and Why Crimson?

Continental Europe is becoming an increasingly popular study destination for students interested in academic excellence and the opportunity to experience the rich European culture (with the benefit of lower cost compared to most US or UK options).

Beyond their amazing locations, in recent years European institutions such as ETH Zurich have also been climbing up the world university rankings.

Don’t speak the language (at least not yet)? That’s not a problem, as there are hundreds of EU undergraduate programs taught in English

Read on to find out more about the EU application process and how working with Crimson can optimise your chances of admission.

Meet Our European University Admissions Strategists and Application Mentors

Crimson's global network of admissions strategists is comprised of education professionals across the US, UK and Europe who themselves have earned degrees from the very institutions our students aspire to attend. At Crimson, we pair every student with a strategist, tutors and mentors who specialise in the university system they're applying to — meaning applicants to EU universities are paired with a team of EU graduates who are familiar with the requirements and expectations of top EU schools.

01. University selection strategy

Our specialists will help you both wade through the seemingly limitless number of European options and understand how to navigate the diverse university landscape — which is vitally important given application processes can differ from country to country and from university to university.

Our EU experts will:

  • Help you to identify universities that align with your desired course of study and location
  • Focus on universities that align with your preferred teaching method eg: in English
  • Draft roadmaps for each selected higher education institution

04. Personal statement / motivational essay support

Your EU essay mentors will work with you to build a motivational letter (the EU version of the personal statement) focusing on your academic passions and personal motivations. Our experts will help you brainstorm, build, edit and refine a motivational letter that both explores your past experiences and your future ambitions, encapsulating why your chosen university/course of study will best serve those plans.

  • Prep for all likely questions
  • Compose a list of questions you can ask your interviewer in return
  • Perfect your performance and lift your confidence through mock interview prep
  • Learn the art of improvisation so you are prepared for all questions that come your way
