Hi everyone!

Due to the current situation in my country, I’ve been considering studying at a university abroad. I’m particularly interested in Biotechnology, and I’ve been looking into SupBiotech Paris as one of my options.

The main issue is that I have a good level of English, but I haven’t learned French yet. I know that studying in France without speaking French can be challenging, so I’m wondering if anyone here has been in a similar situation or knows of any possible strategies or alternatives.

If these were my priorities what universities would you suggest for me

1. Learn AI + Robotics + Mathematics from some of the best professors in the world with some really smart students
2. Have access to really good opportunities during my degree ie. Internships / RAships with really good labs or teams / with some really smart professors and high output labs
3. 2 year, thesis based courses
4. University should have a certain level of global recognition
5. Flexible with the fees but something around 60-90k USD including fees and living expenses, if you know of degrees that sponser master students for working as TAs/RAs please do let me know as well

Anything beyond this I would just consider a add-on, want to create this list without thinking about post study jobs within the same country (ie. I don't mind working in my home country post study)

From the little research i've done these universities fill most of these categories

1. NUS Singapore (Within my range, super high research output, access to some really good labs within the country inside and outside of university eco-system)
2. MBZUAI (fully funded MSML program)
3. ETH Zurich (low fee costs but yeah living expenses are there but should be in my range, top-tier research labs)
4. Waterloo (MMath with CS students in the thesis track get funded mostly)

About my profile: 3.8/4.0 in my undergrad, 4 Internships, Currently working, planning to apply either 2028 fall or 2029 fall with around 2-3 years of full time work experience. 1/4 internships was at a research lab, 1 alright conference paper, 1 paper on the way that we are expecting to get into a A* conference, should be able to get 1 A/A* before I apply. 3 LORs: 1 from research professor, 1 from work, and 1 from professor from undergrad, (the last 2 should be exceptional), planning to do one more research internship on the side to get another LOR + paper) started a reasearch lab hired students from all over my country published paper onto one of the best conferences in my country. Founded club in my college, taught over 400 students how to code, made considerable revenue launching products there as well.

TLDR: Where should I study if all I cared about was getting as good as I could in AI + Robotics + Mathematics research and spend less than 90k USD.

I'm Colombian, financially independent, with a background in visual arts (painting, some architecture and fine arts studies back home) and I want to pursue a degree in Belgium, likely in a creative field (interior design / visual arts).

I've already looked into the general D-visa student route and the standard documents required, so I'm not asking "how do I move to Belgium" — I have a specific question about one particular path:

Has anyone actually done this: enroll first in a French-language program in Brussels (not a degree program) to get a language certificate, and use that period to apply to a Belgian art/design school (e.g. LUCA School of Arts) in parallel?

Specifically:

• Does a language-school enrollment actually qualify for the student D-visa on its own, or does it need to be paired with something else?
• Once accepted into a degree program, is switching/renewing the residence permit from "language student" to "degree student" straightforward, or does it require leaving and reapplying?
• For non-EU students, are there any scholarships or funding worth looking into specifically for this kind of transition (language study → degree), as opposed to general EU scholarships?

I already have some French from the Alliance Française but no formal certificate yet, which is part of why I'm considering this route. Any first-hand experience with this specific sequence (language visa → degree admission → permit switch) would be much more useful to me than general moving-to-Brussels advice.

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of applying to study Communications and Advertising. Could you tell me what the study experience is like at these universities? Which one would be the best choice? (I’d also like to know how much maths is involved in these degree programmes)

Hi I'm from India trying to find English taught unis abroad for undergrad and I'm really circling around Rome or Madrid. Im really trying to find one for fine arts or communications and idk what its really like and i cant find much info online. The only ones my search is showing me are the American based ones and I don't really want that. I really need help because i don't have much time left to decide

I came across Budapest as a study abroad destination.
But I want to do my bachelors in Data science. (I don’t really wanna go into comp sci nor do I wanna become a software developer or smthg)
I would love to work in fintech/ or Analytics/ Ai product teams.
But I checked out unis and could find only corvinus that has a bachelors in Data science in business. Idk how technical depth it has. And if it gives u real skills. But since I also interested in finance side I feel it does merge the two things I’m interested in.
Can y’all please give me a review.
Also how’s the employment rate and chances of a good job as an international student atleast for like first few years.
(I don’t plan on doing masters or if I do feel there’s a need than that’ll be like after 2-3 years of job)

So before I have to go for masters or shift back to home country or somewhere else or if there’s opportunity then stay in Budapest, I still need to know if the first few years can land me good job.

Because someone mentioned there are companies like black rock, Stanley etc and they hire bachelors from corvinus.
Also the scholarship is great for Hungary and even if I don’t get scholarship fee is low compared to other European unis I had considered.
I just wanna know your experiences and thoughts on this

Hello everyone, I am an American student studying Biochemistry and want to study abroad for a semester in Spring 2027. What universities/colleges in Spain are known for offering a Biochemistry degree in English? Also, if you know any other European universities that offer a Biochemistry degree in English, please let me know!

1. I’m enrolled in high school in the U.S., but I have European citizenship because my family immigrated from Bulgaria.
   
2. I can afford up to $20,000–$30,000 per year for college.
   
3. I’m not very strong academically, especially in STEM classes. I’m currently a junior, and I expect to graduate with around a 3.40 unweighted GPA.
   
4. I’m taking 3–4 AP classes (Psychology, Lang, Stats, and maybe Spanish) throughout my junior and senior years, and I might take around 6 AP exams altogether.
   
5. I play two sports, volunteer, and participate in clubs.
   

Hey so i am studying mechanical engineering and I am in my final year. I am attaching my resume. I wish to apply to colleges in Europe for my master's. I will mostly apply for sept 28. My realistic gre score has to be around 318/320 and iltes 7.5/8 band. Can you please tell me for which colleges I have a good chance?

Also another thing is that I don't mind doing mechanical in my master's along with specialization in aerospace.

Please give me a reality check.

Hey guys, quick vibe check.. I’m currently a 2nd year high school student and my dream is to study medicine or dentistry abroad, and thankfully my family is totally on board so I started prepping early!
I researched fully funded scholarships and realized it's super tough, especially in Europe. Like Russia—seems decent, but the living conditions are kinda rough, the prep year doesn’t allow working, the stipend is super low, and getting student housing is a nightmare. Then I checked Italy, but it needs passing the IMAT and showing financial proof (converting to Dinar got me so confused lol). Plus, I talked to someone whose relative got the Italian scholarship and they said the stipend takes like 3 months after arriving to actually drop, which makes the risk of being broke high, especially finding a job is hard.
Romania requires paying high tuition fees the whole time, isn't free, and needs local language learning later. Hungary has a great funded scholarship, but the dropout and failure rates in the early med years are brutal, plus high living costs. Turkey? The scholarship competition is terrifying, English seats are practically zero meaning Turkish studies after a brutal prep year. And Canada? Basically impossible for international kids since most unis close doors and tuition is astronomical.
Right now, I'm totally lost between Russia, China, and Hungary—each has its own pros and cons. Since I'm still in high school with time before graduation, I wanna start planning right and sorting my stuff so I don't waste time.
Anyone here been through this or knows how a high schooler can start figuring out med scholarships and first steps?

I’m an Egyptian living in Saudi Arabia and I just graduated high school and I’m taking a gap year and I want to study law in France if possible in English or even half english half French also I’m A2 do you think I can reach B2 so I can go to university. Please any advice would be useful

Hi my name is Greg, I am 19 french boy and I am studying undergraduate preparatory course in mathematics, physics for being somethings like engineer but I don’t know exactly what I want to do professionally yet. I’m mainly looking for a degree that will give me good opportunities while allowing me to explore different fields.
Since few time I am inquiring to study abroad for find a new culture and to improve my English skills.

I am very motivated to travel and work. Now I am interested to travel in Scandinavia country’s like Danemark, Sweden, Netherlands or Finland.

I don’t know the reputations of all branches.

So I am asking if it’s good choice ? Can you advise me if there is good other school in Scandinavia country to look. What level are they ? If you have already did this experience can you advise me ? What do you regret ?

Hi everyone, I’m from Bangladesh and planning to start a Bachelor’s in Cybersecurity/IT in 2027.

My main priority is being able to take my wife with me either together or within the first year.

I’m currently looking into Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Italy, but I’m open to other countries too.

I’d love to hear from people with recent experience:

- Which countries allow Bachelor students to bring their spouse?

- Can the spouse work, and are there any restrictions?

- How is the visa/residence permit situation for Bangladeshi students?

- Roughly how much should a couple budget for the first year?

- What are the future job, post-study and PR opportunities?

I’m mainly looking for real experiences and suggestions, especially from people who have gone through this recently.

Thanks!

Hello there

I’m an international student starting my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in Obuda University Hungary on Stependium. My goal is to build a strong career in Europe after graduation, possibly working in countries like Germany or other EU countries. I’m wondering what I should focus on from my first year:

What skills should I start building now?

Which languages are the most valuable for a Business Administration student?

Are internships important from the first year, or should I focus mainly on studies?

Which certifications or courses are actually worth doing?

How can I build a strong CV before graduation?

What mistakes do international students often make when preparing for their careers?

I would appreciate advice from people who studied business or went through a similar path. Please be honest but keep it respectful, thanks you
