France
French universities have a long history and many choices, which can be roughly divided into three categories: first, comprehensive universities, mainly academic research, involving various disciplines; The second is "big schools", including two types: engineer schools and business management schools; Third, colleges, including architecture, art, design, fashion and other disciplines. In addition to paying for language learning in the first year, international students can attend public universities for free in the second year. The annual registration fee for bachelor courses is only 65,438+000-300 euros, and for master courses it is 200-400 euros. At the same time, you can work and enjoy the same treatment as French students, such as housing subsidies, social insurance, public transportation, college meals and other benefits. The cost is relatively low, especially suitable for the vast number of wage earners studying abroad. In the ranking of European universities, some French universities and comprehensive universities are among the best. According to the latest ranking published by the Financial Times, there are 1 1 French schools among the 35 famous business schools, among which 7 schools rank among the top ten. In addition, the French Institute of Technology ranks third among the most famous universities in Europe, seventh among normal universities, and second among the French Institute of Political Science1.
Northern Europe (Sweden, Finland)
The perfect welfare system in northern Europe ensures that citizens can enjoy free higher education. At present, Sweden and Finland still adopt national treatment for international students and provide professional courses taught in English. China signed an agreement on mutual recognition of academic qualifications with the above two countries, which relieved the worries of China students studying in Switzerland and Finland. Education in Nordic countries has its own characteristics. In the humanities, literature, linguistics and other majors have always enjoyed a high reputation. In science and engineering, mathematics, finance, biology, electronics, computer, environment, energy, engineering and other fields are the dominant majors in Nordic countries. Sweden and Finland have extensive social welfare coverage. International students who have studied abroad for more than one year are included in the public medical system and enjoy generous welfare policies of many domestic citizens. Sweden and Finland have their own characteristics in teaching. For example, Sweden's medical and telecommunications majors are world-famous, the business management of Helsinki Business School in Finland, the music of Sibelius Conservatory of Music, and the sports management of Vajules University are all outstanding. In northern Europe, international students can work legally, and if they can speak the local language, their natural income will be higher.
Germany
The quality of teaching in Germany is very high. Many universities have a history of 100 years, and many institutions are among the best in the world. According to foreign service experts, Germany is gradually abolishing free compulsory education, but the nominal fee is very low (some colleges charge tuition fees of about 1.2 million yuan per year); Living expenses are 50,000-60,000 RMB per year. Germany does not stipulate working hours by week, but stipulates that a semester is 180 half a day, that is, 90 whole days. In addition, Germany, like France, has also implemented the educational system reform, with three years for undergraduates and two years for postgraduates in line with international standards. However, the German exam is very difficult. If you don't pass the school's language test within 18 months, you must go back to China. German universities are broad in entrance and strict in exit, which requires students to study hard during their college years and not delay their studies.
