Universities in Europe outside England and France (for instance in the Netherlands, Denmark and Scandinavia) now offer some excellent undergraduate (and postgraduate) degrees taught completely in English. An added advantage is that EU passport holders generally have the same fee status as local residents. These degrees present a fantastic opportunity to gain a respected degree in a genuinely international setting – and often in very attractive European cities. The very high price of study in the UK and the USA is making these options more and more popular.
