The European Higher Education Fair: Gateway to a World of Ultimate Learning


Education is one of the strongest foundations of your future, and choosing the best academic institutions are of utmost importance.

In the pursuit of higher education, many factors play key roles in influencing our decisions. The academic environment, for instance, would influence your appreciation of the concepts you learn in class. The cultural milieu, optimised by the interaction you have with people in the campus, would likewise enrich your educational experience.


Now imagine getting your higher education in adventure-packed Europe — the experience would definitely be exciting, to say the least. Staying in Europe for the duration of your studies is completely different from being there as a tourist. Besides receiving only the best education from internationally renowned universities, the experience gives you the chance to discover and understand a whole new way of living. Armed with youth, eagerness, and the willingness to explore, the possibilities before you are endless, and taking the time to explore such options could grant you the greatest adventure of your life.


WHY CHOOSE EUROPE?


It’s no secret that Europe is a melting pot of ideologies and lifestyles, the perfect escapade for intrepid hearts and free spirits. Europe - The word itself takes the mind to a place of intrigue and sophistication, where the walls of old abbeys overlook verdant scenery traversed by mountains and peppered by quaint villages. The breadth of the European experience is encompassing, a once in a lifetime encounter that affects the heart, soul, and most especially the mind of a visitor.


In a world where countries clamor for attention, it is the resounding lure of a European adventure that exceeds every expectation. But beyond Europe’s rich cultural ambience is a world intensely aware of modernisation. Avant-garde cities are built alongside antique villages, while complex transportation systems that cut across countries lie beside the quietest of country roads. It is this cultural duality that sets the tone for an adventure unlike any other.


Some say that to stay in Europe for a week makes you a tourist. To stay for a month makes you a visitor. But in order to truly absorb what Europe is about, one must stay for a reason, and no better reason exists than the chance to experience and learn everything Europe has to offer.


The quality of European higher education is of no question - through the halls of Europe’s schools have walked some of the world’s most notable names, some of European ancestry while others attending as students from other countries who opted to be educated in Europe. From business to politics to fine arts, European education paved the way for the likes of chemist Marie Curie, mathematician Rene Descartes, scientist Charles Darwin, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, writer JRR Tolkien, King of Thailand HRH Bhumibol Adulyadej, actor Sean Connery, and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. But more than the exemplary education it provides, Europe—being a melting pot of diverse cultures--offers a unique opportunity to travel, to experience a new world, and immerse yourself in a rich and diverse culture. Meet new people, interact with them, live with them. Appreciate their culture, learn from it, and share your own.


Unlike studying within the comfort and safety of familiarity, a European education offers the opportunity to learn not only within a classroom, but from every aspect of your every day life. Each year, students from all over the world choose to attend European universities and institutions for higher education not only for its internationally renowned degrees, but also for the chance to learn new languages, see new places, and make new friends from an endless pool of ethnicities and cultures.


THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE… AND AN EDUCATION TO BOOT!


Studying in Europe is not reserved only for students enrolled in International Studies and Linguistics. The numerous educational institutions of the EU cater to every interest, from fostering the new breed of business and economics CEO’s to those looking to become masters of Fine Art.

Through the European Higher Education Fair 2008, the ultimate adventure is at your fingertips. Activities to take place during the weekend of the EHEF will equip you with the knowledge necessary to begin the journey.
