Universities In Europe That Teach In English

Many of the top universities in Europe offer programs of study in English.


If you feel the need to travel, but do not want to give up the opportunity to enjoy the college experience, why not satisfy both by studying in Europe? In addition to the native English-speaking universities of Great Britain and Ireland, Europe has many of the world's top universities that offer undergraduate and graduate programs of study conducted in English.


Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), Zurich, Switzerland


Founded in 1855, ETH Zurich offers some of the best technology and natural science programs of study in the world. With over 15,000 students from 80 countries, the academic environment is as diverse and varied as the geography that surrounds the school. Situated in the picturesque city of Zurich, students at ETH are surrounded by forests, mountains and lakes, which provide for unlimited recreational opportunities. ETH has high academic expectations and a history of achievement represented by the 21 Nobel Laureates who have studied, taught or conducted research at the school.

University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands


There are few places in the world that blend the past with the present in such a creative way as the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Established in 1632, the university buildings are either located in heart of the old town or in modern, state-of-the-art research buildings. Students are expected to learn on their own as autonomy and personal development are at the core of the Dutch educational approach. There is, however, a large community of support as the school hosts over 1,800 international students each year. In addition to the standard undergraduate curriculum offered, the university hosts over 100 master's degree programs in English, many of which are in subjects taught only at UvA.
