Why study in Europe?
The European Commission's Study in Europe portal is a starting point for comparing education systems and destinations. Build a shortlist by subject, teaching language, total cost and academic eligibility. A strong programme match is more useful than choosing a region without a particular course.

Make a strong start
Admission requirements & language
- Select the country and institution, then check the recognition of your Pakistani qualification.
- Compare the actual programme language, application portal, documents and deadlines.
- For a joint degree, identify every host institution and which country handles each stage of your stay.
Language preparation
Europe has many teaching languages. An English-taught course can still have local language needs for daily life or placements.
Explore test preparation and support →Intakes & deadlines
Deadlines vary across countries, institutions and scholarship calls. Keep a separate timetable for each application.
Your document checklist
Prepare academic records, identity documents, language evidence and any course-specific references, statement or portfolio. Ask the institution about translations and verification. Keep the admission checklist separate from the visa checklist.

A budget you can plan around
Tuition fees & living costs
Compare the full programme cost in each destination's currency. Include tuition, accommodation, health cover, travel between campuses and visa or residence fees. Check currency conversion assumptions when comparing an offer priced in euros with one priced in another currency.
Build your study budget
- Tuition & course fees
- Use the current written fee schedule for your exact course.
- Living expenses
- Compare accommodation, food, transport and essential personal costs.
- Insurance & applications
- Include required cover, visa charges and document preparation.
- Travel & contingency
- Allow for flights, arrival costs and changes in exchange rates.
Budget currency: Varies by country. A living-cost budget and the visa authority’s required financial evidence may be different.

Explore funding
Scholarships & financial support
Explore Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters and the awards offered by national agencies and universities. Read the specific call's eligibility, participating institutions and coverage. An Erasmus opportunity should not be assumed to fund any course in any European country.
Record each award’s deadline, documents, coverage and renewal conditions. Keep a workable plan for costs that an award does not cover.

Understand the next step
Student visa & residence guidance
There is no single student visa for all of Europe. Your host country's authorities determine the entry and residence route, and multi-country study may involve additional mobility procedures. A short-stay Schengen permission is not a general substitute for a national study residence authorisation.
Use the current official instructions for your nationality, programme and place of application. Admission and immigration decisions are made separately. Nexo can help you organise your questions and preparation; the relevant authority decides the application.

Plan beyond the classroom
Work during study & graduate options
Student work rights and graduate routes differ by country and permit. Compare the national rules alongside academic fit, and check requirements again before relying on a possible post-study stay.
Build your study budget around available funds. A possible future job should not be treated as confirmed funding.

Universities & course selection

Before you apply
Questions about studying in Europe
Can I apply with Pakistani qualifications?
Your institution assesses the level, subjects and grades of your qualification. Share your academic history with Nexo, then check the exact course’s published criteria and any recognition or preparatory requirements.
Which language test should I prepare for?
Europe has many teaching languages. An English-taught course can still have local language needs for daily life or placements.
Check admission and visa requirements before booking a test.
How much should I budget?
Request an up-to-date tuition quotation for your chosen course and campus. Add living expenses, insurance, application and visa charges, travel and a contingency. Review the costs section above and confirm financial-evidence requirements with the authority.
Is a scholarship or visa guaranteed?
No. Scholarships have their own eligibility and selection processes, and the immigration authority decides visa applications. An admission offer does not guarantee funding, permission to work or a visa.
