Home / Study in Europe
UK graduates and Gulf students
Your next degree could be in Europe
The UK Graduate visa doesn't last forever. Many of our students carry on into a Master’s in Europe, where tuition is often far lower and there are real routes to stay and work afterwards.
Destinations
Where we place students in Europe
Most of the students we send to Europe are international graduates living in the UK, often on a Graduate visa, who need a student visa for their next country. Germany and Spain are where most of them go. Full country guides are being added one by one; if your country’s guide isn’t up yet, talk to us and we’ll go through it with you.
Can’t wait until October?
In Germany, Spain and Malta, many private universities start in January, May and September and often decide on applications quicker. Public universities usually start in October and April. If your UK visa ends soon, a private intake is often the way to avoid a gap. Ask us which intakes are still open.
Germany
A student visa you apply for from the UK, up to 18 months after graduation to find work, and a written route to permanent residence, from 21 months of work on an EU Blue Card.
