High quality, relatively low costs
In Europe, especially continental Europe, universities are heavily subsidized by their national governments. In Germany and Scandinavia for instance, most Master's programmes are totally free of charge. In the recent publication of the Times Higher Education Supplement (http://www.thes.co.uk/), 36 of the top 100 universities in the world are located in Europe. MastersPortal has researched the tuition fees in those top 100 universities. In continental Europe, the tuition fee was on average about 1/4th of the tuition fee of the universities in the USA (based on 07/02/2009 exchange rates).



Great diversity in Culture, History and Languages
The Acropolis in Athens, Greece; Scottish Highlands; The hart of Roman culture in Ancient Rome; The most Nordic city in the world; Paris, the city of love; High Tech Architecture in Rotterdam, Europe offers a great multicultural environment with unlimited possibilities to explore and learn. And while national borders in Europe are evading, it is very easy and cheap for students to travel. This is also a great possibility to get your high school French, German or Spanish from an awkward tourist level to a working professional level.

International environment
The European citizens consider themselves citizens of the world and are generally very open to foreigners. In Higher Education, internationalization has been promoted for the last decades. This has resulted in a number of joint programmes offered by universities of different countries. Also, every university hosts a large number of international students.
