Planning to study abroad? Start with the country, not the university. For each of 35 countries we have gathered what you would otherwise look for on a dozen different websites: what the universities are like, how admission works, what studying and living cost, where to look for scholarships and whether you can work while you study. With links to official sources.

Found your programme? Here is what comes next: choosing the country, an Erasmus+ grant, a job abroad and travelling around Europe.
Application timelines, scholarships, visas and work rules for international students in Poland and Europe – checked against official sources.
Erasmus+ lets students at bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral level spend 2 to 12 months studying or training in another country, and recent graduates can go on a traineeship too. There is no central application: your own university selects participants and sets the deadline, so the first step is always its Erasmus+ office.
The France Excellence Eiffel programme funds international master’s and doctoral students at French universities, but students cannot apply on their own: a French institution must nominate them. Campus France accepts nominations for the 2027 call until 6 January 2027, and many universities close their internal selection weeks earlier.
International candidates for degree programmes in Poland must show that their school certificate or diploma opens the door to higher education. Since 1 July 2025 that check has been handled by NAWA, not by regional education authorities. Here is who needs a recognition statement, when an apostille or legalisation is required and which documents to prepare before admissions open.
A semester abroad, a traineeship after graduation or a free train pass at 18 – here is what Erasmus+ offers and how to apply.
Where is it easiest to find a job, how much is the minimum wage and what do you do in your first weeks? Key figures and practical tips for every EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and the UK.
Where to look, your rights without a work permit, CV and interview, recognition of diplomas, contract and insurance, internships – and how to spot a job scam.
Road trip, Erasmus or a summer job abroad? Before you set off: these rules change from country to country.
ID card or passport, the new EES border checks, passenger rights, free roaming, the euro and the EHIC card – ten short guides for your next trip.
Driving abroad? Check where you need a vignette, where you pay at toll booths and where the motorway is free – click a country for the details.
Each list shows kilometres of slopes, the number of lifts and the altitude; the resort page breaks the slopes down by difficulty and the lifts by type. Data from the skiresort.info catalogue and the resorts’ websites – as of 22 October 2026.
New articles every week about EU-funded research projects, written for students. Every article ends with a short quiz – check what you remember.
Abundance in winter, scarcity in summer: for generations this rhythm shaped life on Mediterranean islands. Now it is increasingly broken by violent downpours and sudden floods. On the Greek island of Skiathos, the NURISH project team wants to turn that problem into a resource: cleaning wastewater in solar-powered artificial wetlands and holding back rainwater in case of fires, drawing on local stone and old water paths — and at the end you can check how you treat water in everyday life.
When we think of satellites in transport, we usually picture the navigation app on our phone. The European SPATRA project shows that orbit can offer far more: Earth observation data, backed by artificial intelligence, helps keep an eye on rail temperatures and ease congestion at a border crossing in Serbia. The goal is simple — safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly land transport — and at the end you can check what kind of traveller you are in the world of data.
Cultivated meat faces three serious obstacles: cost, scale of production and a taste that still falls short of conventional meat. The team behind the European PROFUSE project decided to tackle what matters most in a steak: muscle tissue. The researchers developed a supplement that speeds up muscle cell maturation and a non-GM bovine cell line, and first tests with producers brought lower costs per kilogram — and at the end you can check how open you are to the food of the future.
