6 Great Reasons to Study in Europe <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s probably true that you can find at least one good reason to study on any of the seven continents \u2013 even Antarctica1<\/sup>. So what\u2019s so special about studying in Europe<\/strong>, and why do so many students aspire to gain a degree from a European institution?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globalization <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the late 20th century, advances in transportation and communications technology gave rise to the concept of \u201cglobalization\u201d to describe the unprecedented international connectivity of the post-Cold War world. McLuhan\u2019s \u201cglobal village\u201d brought together all parts of the world via the internet and other means of electronic communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globalization not only allows digital access to EU Business School courses online<\/a><\/strong>, but it encourages students to experience first-hand the attractions of living and working in a new environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following are some of the many reasons why European study is so attractive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Career Opportunities <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The European Union (EU) is a special example of globalization where 27 countries have come together in an economic union which allows free movement of goods, services, capital and people between member states.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where better to experience the global business environment than in the heart of Europe, by studying at one of the EU Business School campuses located in Spain, Switzerland and Germany<\/strong> <\/a>\u2013 or digitally online?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

    1. High quality of tuition \u2013 the Bologna Process <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Many of the best universities in the world are located in Europe. Top academic staff are attracted to Europe\u2019s sophistication and history<\/strong>, and by its proximity to so many diverse cultures, nationalities and lifestyles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In tandem, the demand for student mobility has grown rapidly. Institutions have had to grapple with the need to recognise qualifications across different national higher education systems, with divergent degree structures and different academic traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In this context, Europe has led the way. The Bologna Process is the response of national governments to the challenges arising from the mobility of European students and graduates, bringing coherence to higher education systems across Europe.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) facilitates student and staff mobility<\/strong>, to make higher education more inclusive and accessible, and to make higher education in Europe more attractive and competitive worldwide.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Bologna Process recognises each participating country\u2019s qualifications and learning periods (see ECTS below), and supports a system of quality assurance for learning and teaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        This system measures and compares learning achievements and helps students easily transfer credits from one higher education institution to another. The benefits of ECTS for students include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
