Interesting comments from my wife's multi-lingual student. He'd like to study at a university in Europe (not the UK), but he'd prefer to do it in English. Any of our European members know of any such programs?

"My" old uni, University of Maastricht, Nederlands, offers four years of international business/economics in English. I think there are lots of programs in English throughout Europe - what does this student want to study? And where is he/she eligible to apply? I really think this needs to be an individual search - the opportunities and fees abound, but legalities will be difficult to predict....

A friend passed me this cool site: http://www.braintrack.com

I guess it's an index of universities by continent then country, so it is big, but if you can pick a country or two it wouldn't be too bad to search for your field of studies at the universities in that country.

But as I was saying, it's unusual that he wants to study in English, but not in the UK. I thought there must be programs, but I was trying to help him out, and out of interest myself. I know of the American university in Paris, but I doubt they have degrees in English.

I'd have to say I am curious myself, s if I was in Europe, I may wish to pursue another graduate degree, but in English (just because it would be less stressful).
