The European Universities Consortium (EUC) is a group of 7 universities found throughout Europe. Member universities collaborate on recruitment initiatives, traveling around the world together to speak directly with students and educators about study opportunities in Europe. Universities in the consortium offer programs taught entirely in English, have high standings in international rankings, promote diversity in their student bodies, and are fully accredited. All EUC members are part of the main international recruitment associations, CIS (www.cois.org) and IACAC (www.internationalacac.org) where the consortium plays an important role in presentations and networking.
mission & vision
to introduce and inform students about study opportunities in Europe
to connect high school educators with European universities
to promote the internationalization of higher education
to stand for academic excellence and cultural diversity
background
The EUC was founded in 2011 from the idea of 6 universities (IE, Bocconi, Jacobs - now CO, Vesalius (now BSOG), EHL, Tilburg - no longer in the EUC) while attending CIS and IACAC conferences due to the fact that international admission conferences and CIS tours at that time were mainly run by US institutions and focused on pursuing higher education in the USA/UK. Furthermore, the counselors’ community was mainly represented by professionals from the USA or the UK, therefore studying in England or the United States has often been the only option given to their students. As such, one of the main objectives of our activities, is to promote opportunities to pursue English-taught Bachelor degrees in Europe or in countries outside of the United States and England. Having a representation of other EU countries allows the consortium to expand our network and to offer schools and students wider knowledge of the multiculturalism of Europe. Currently the consortium is represented by 7 European universities offering Bachelor, Master and PhD programs entirely taught in English, located in countries where the official language is other than English. Additionally, the EUC came together as an initiative to collaborate and support each other in recruitment activities and networking.

Jacobs University
“My overall experience at Jacobs has exceeded my expectations! Having all these great connections with people from all over the world is a constant reminder of the privilege that Jacobs University has afforded me. Our education is directly linked to us wanting to make a positive impact in this world! I truly do look and think about my future in positive light due to the experiences that I have had on this campus! “
Isabelle BOAST
EHL
“The curriculum at EHL combines theoretical courses with hands-on practice. This combination is one of the main reasons why I decided to pursue my studies at EHL. Through the many group projects, we learn how to work as a team and listen to other opinions. The combination of the group work and theory helped me in the completion of my six-month internship which gave me an insight into what I might want to do in the future. These experiences throughout my studies thus far have taught me how to be resourceful and adapt to foreign environments.“
Clarissa Wölfer
Modul University Vienna
“Enrolling in the Bachelor of Science in Applied Data Science program at Modul University Vienna has been a decision that promises a secure future in this fast growing and very popular field of data science. What truly sets MU apart is the personalized attention and engaging learning environment in small class sizes. We have meaningful interactions with both professors and classmates, creating a sort of family atmosphere where ideas are exchanged. The professors have a genuine willingness to guide and support us, students; in our academic journey that starts right here, at MU.”

Carl Benz School
"I wanted to be a Mechanical Engineer and as CBS was a part of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), it served both my needs of being part of a good university and also being able to study in English. After graduating I interned at a bike sharing company based out of Leipzig, Germany after which I came back to India and started my own bike sharing company which offers micro mobility solutions to Indian cities. What I love the most about my job is that my work is very unconventional and pioneering, mobility is such a huge space and has so much room for innovation, which translates to long hours and frequent travel but a lot of fun."
Jalla Hertoghe
Brussels School of Governance
“The BA in Global Business and Entrepreneurship has taught me leadership, critical thinking, and discipline. The open discussions in class have allowed me to express my thoughts and learn from the others. The Brussels School of Governance not only values theory but also a lot of practice which has pushed me to go beyond our syllabus and apply it in real life. If you are looking for an open-minded environment to analyze, reflect, and co-create solutions for a better future, this is the School you are looking for.”
Nicholas
Radley College (UK) - Bocconi
“The teaching style at Bocconi is something I really enjoy. The fact that TAs and lecturers are often available to clarify concepts is very beneficial. Also, one aspect I never fully anticipated before was that having international students study and work with you is an incredible asset. Having such a broad field of connections plus at the same time practicing a foreign language is immensely useful.”
María Verónica Ramos Romero
IE University
“The international community and study plan is something that attracted me about pursuing my studies at IE University. Coming from a previous international background, I was impressed and excited to study my bachelor's degree in an international university representing over 130 nationalities. Additionally, having a smaller and more intimate classroom sizes in comparison to other prestigious universities enhanced my learning by allowing me to get to know my peers and professors on a much deeper level. The practical hands-on approach to lectures and case studies during my bachelor's degree gave me a wider perception of how the business world operates in present society¨.
