5 Best Places To Study Abroad

Study abroad

In this fast-paced and competitive world, education becomes more and more important. However, what could be better than studying away from home and experiencing another culture while gaining academic success? Traveling abroad is not only fun, but it broadens the mind too. It is worthwhile to explore the many options on offer all over the world to gain an insight into alternative educational options available to potential students. In the meantime, the following are five suggestions for countries perfect for overseas study.

1. Italy

With its amazing history, architecture and, of course, food, Italy is a wonderful destination for studying abroad. Even better, many of the study programs include cultural studies along with a variety of majors to pursue. While it isn’t always essential to learn the Italian language, it certainly would make it easier to integrate into the local culture, while enjoying the delightful sights and tastes of Italy’s fascinating cities, including attending the University of Rome. Enjoy some of the finest gelato while studying for a future.

2. Otago Peninsula, South Island, New Zealand

There’s certainly no language issues when studying in New Zealand and heading to the Otago Peninsula of the country’s South Island gives the opportunity of a great education along with some pretty amazing scenery. Dunedin is a spectacular city, set among this amazing scenery and the city is set around the University of Otago. While there, visit the wildlife, including the penguin breeding grounds and the Royal Albatross breeding colony, as well as the magnificent beaches.

3. Spain

Known for its dramatic flamenco dancing, its many fiestas and the famous siesta, Spain is a great place to further an education. Whether studying in the emblematic cities, like Seville or Granada, or heading to the coastal areas to soak up the sun on the beaches, many students head to Spain to further their studies. Whether visiting to learn Spanish or to take European studies, international business classes or more, Spain is an exciting choice.

4. France

When people think of France, they think of the French Riviera or the fascinating city of Paris, but educational options are available throughout France. When attending International University Fairs in France, you will find that the opportunity exists to study in either English or French.

5.  Germany

Anyone who enjoys a good glass of beer will be aware of Germany’s Oktoberfest and Disney fans might recognize the fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle, which inspired their iconic logo. 

However, Germany is also the ideal country to learn about German culture and enjoy a world-class education. This is the ideal place to study the hard sciences and business and also to learn the language. While many educational programs do offer courses in English, it is probably a good idea to get a basic knowledge of German first.

Travel the world, learning a new language and broadening the mind while enjoying a great education!
