Free Education in Europe – Why and How

Indians students always think about only U.S, U.K and Canada. They never think about any other educational destinations. We are bringing to your kind notice that we have plenty of other educational destinations which offer us nominal tuition fees or zero tuition fees. As for Indian students they are very strong enough academically but financially they might not good enough. for these kind of students this is the greatest opportunity to study internationally and enhance there knowledge and move ahead with better settlements rather than paying lacs of rupees to U.S, U.K & Canada universities they should opt for European universities which will save lacs of rupees. Details of application and visa process for European Universities are described in the second par of the article.

Most of the universities are public run by the Govt. these govt. are spending up 20% of the GDP towards education. That’s why these universities have enough funding from the government and local companies. There is no discrimination between international students and local students will also have to pay the same as international students.

If you compare the students to the other countries with U.S, U.K, Canada & Australia local students they have to pay 1000 dollars whereas international students will have to pay 10,000 dollar for the same platform.

Why to Choose European Countries?

Most of the inventors came from the European unions. For ex. Einstein, Aristotle, Madam Curie, Newton, Rudolf Deisel, Karl Benjamin and many more in the list. It shows how good enough are they in research works. Most of the universities are the highly internationally ranked, and they are noble prize winners

European educational system one of the best in the world as of today. Internship is the part of their curriculum. Some of the European countries like Sweden, Italy it is not mandatory to submit IELTES, TOEFL and GRE reports. If the students are having these reports he will get much more advantage. There are wide range of courses available for international students in European union e.g. Germany ( mechanical, bio-technology, chemistry, automobiles etc), France ( nuclear energies, management, mathematics, physics and aeronautics)

Qualified students can avail plenty of scholarship opportunities that are offered by the European Commission, National Governments, various societies, industries and research institutions to cover their living expenses. The tuition fees waived out completely from the European system but still the student can get living expenditures through scholarships ( e.g. most of the countries like German will provide DAAD scholarship and France will provide to you French scholarship and Sweden will provide to you meritorious scholarships. Many more scholarships and fellowships are also available for international students.

Application Process for MS in European Universities

The free education concept is available only in the parts of Europe and nowhere else around the world. Even though there are scholarships available across the world in different universities, they are limited and very less in number. Only in this part of the world, the institutions offer Free Education not to a limited number of students but to the complete strength of the institution. Free Education is mainly available in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Finland, etc. The complete Tuition fees is waived off and the students have to pay only admission and examination fees which are very nominal.

In this article we are going to discuss about the most important things to get an admission for a free education:

1. Knowing the Admission Criteria
2. Applying early ( Much before the deadlines)
3. Application Process

University Types

There are 3 types of Public Universities. They are HS( Hochschule ) ( University ), FH Fachschule ( Applied Sciences ), TU ( Technical University ). This is organized by the government. Few Universities are Private. Mostly Public Universities are charging very less or none tuition fee, when compare to private Universities. Public Universities are traditional universities, which are very old and started many centuries ago. There are topmost universities in Europe which offers vast courses.

Public universities are highly competitive for admission. There are So many Universities in Entire Europe, but out of them only a few Universities teach in English Language Completely. They are called International Courses. Europe is considered as best place for R & D. 2.5% of GDP spent in R & D. There are 30-40 seats available in each University per Intake. 50% seats are meant for EU Students. Remaining 50% are meant for International students. This is the reason behind toughest competition.

There are 4 semesters for masters program in general. Thesis and Internship are included in these 4 semesters. Student has to prepare thesis in order to get the master’s course completion certificate. It is mandatory.

Knowing the Admission Criteria

Minimum 16 Years of education is required for free education. The student should have very good academics to apply top universities. Student should submit all the documents like School Leaving Certificate, Board of Intermediate, University Transcripts, Provisional, CMM, Original Degree (If available), Letter of Recommendation, Tofel (90) / Ielts (6.5), GRE (Not Mandatory), Letter of Motivation, Curriculum Vitae, Prof of German language skills (Not mandatory), 3 Months prior to the deadline.

Depending upon the institution, the admission criteria change. The public universities have a higher entry criteria and the Technical universities may admit students with a lesser percentage than the public universities. But in general the entry criteria is on the higher side. Most of the institutions would require over 70% academics for an entry. There are a few institutions which will consider lesser academics as well.

Applying Early

There are no standard deadlines. Top universities deadline finishes before a year of the Intake. Every month deadline gets closed for few other Universities for 2013 March / April intake few deadlines are already closed and most of them will close in the month of November. For 2013 September / October intake few deadlines are closed for top Universities, and most of the other university deadlines close in the month of January. Technical Stream and Sciences stream courses need to be applied before a year to have more possibility of the admission.

The key to get admission is to apply much before the deadlines as the universities receive the applications from all around the world. Where many students do the mistake is that they apply just before the deadlines and most of the applications come in at this time itself and many students lose their chance of getting admission. If the students apply for admissions much before the deadline dates, the students with lesser profile also tend to get admissions because of the few applications the universities receive during that period.

Its advisable that the students apply before December for the September/October intake to have very high chances of getting the admissions.

Application Process

Admission Process will take minimum 3-4 months time and sometimes more. Intakes will be March / April and September / October. The biggest challenge that the students would go through is with the application process. The International admissions department is not as friendly as the other western country Universities and the Universities websites are not user friendly either. Most of the websites have the local language and not in English. The admissions staff also don’t speak good English or they speak in their local language. So, its important that the student applies through an expert.
