European universities
There are over 2,500 universities across Europe to choose from. Many students stay local for their higher education due to the lower tuition fees and less rigorous admissions processes compared to their UK and US counterparts.
Although these factors may not elude to quality, in fact five of the world’s top 50 universities are located in continental Europe, including; ETH Zurich, University of Copenhagen and EPFL.
