STUDYING IN EUROPE

Studying in Europe provides different advantages to studying in the UK. It helps demonstrate you can adapt to a different culture and native language whilst being successful in your studies which is great when it comes to recruitment in the future.

Grade profiles that universities require are generally lower than in the UK. However, there is higher expectation that you are required to pass all your modules at the end of each year. There are a huge range of degree courses taught entirely in English and it is also an excellent opportunity to learn a second language.

If you are a British student who intends to enrol on courses with an EU university, you should check with the institution about arrangements that will be in place.

You should consider the following:

· get any necessary immigration permission*

· get personal healthcare insurance

· contact the Jersey Student Finance team
