QS World Grad School Tour invades Europe
Find your perfect Masters degree or PhD program at the forthcoming European leg of the QS World Grad School Tour. With international grad schools offering advice on every aspect of study abroad and graduate school scholarships, can you afford to miss this opportunity?
The QS World Grad School Tour has been responsible for meeting the needs of prospective graduate students interested in studying in Europe for seven years. The current edition of the Tour kicks off in Moscow (October 9) before travelling to Kiev (October 11), London (October 13), Milan (October 15), Madrid (October 18), Frankfurt (October 20), Cologne (October 23), Munich (October 25), Paris (October 27), Thessaloniki (October 30), Athens (October 31) and concluding in the city that bridges Europe and Asia, Istanbul (November 3). If you haven’t pre-registered for an event near you there’s still time – register now – remember, by pre-registering and attending one of the QS World Grad School Tour events you will automatically qualify for entry to the exclusive $10,000 QS Scholarship for Innovation in 2008.
Europe hosts more international students than any other region in the world today. With more than 720,000 students studying degrees in Europe from outside of their home countries, it is fast becoming the destination of choice for so many around the world. World-class universities and graduate schools offer one and two year Masters degrees and PhD research programs lasting between three and five years. Recent reforms agreed amongst Education Ministers of the countries comprising the European Union have created a uniform education area stretching from Galway in the west to Vladivostok in the east, providing students with an unprecedented choice of higher education options.
What does this mean to you as a prospective graduate student? Primarily, the options available to you are literally enormous. With a similar structure in place for Masters degrees across more than 30 countries, it is possible for you to compare like with like and attain a qualification that is recognized the world over. Perhaps even more exciting are the number of joint Masters degrees being offered between universities in two countries in Europe, providing for one year to be studied at one university and the final year at another. The benefit to you is that you gain a joint degree from two different universities and the opportunity to study at the graduate level not in just one, but two countries.
The European events of the QS World Grad School Tour will bring with them more than 45 US and international graduate schools in 2007, hoping to meet and recruit the best European students to their graduate degree programs. Amongst some of the most prestigious international universities are institutions from the four corners of the world – the Americas, Asia, Europe and Australasia are all represented. Universities you will be able to meet include Columbia, Carnegie Mellon University, Hawaii Pacific, Pepperdine, EM Lyon, HEC, RSM Erasmus, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Warwick, LSE, University College London, Kings College London, Auckland, Melbourne, Queensland University of Technology and Bocconi University.
