The 10 Best Universities in Europe Based on Student Reviews

Universidad de Salamanca fosters a conducive learning environment and facilitates effortless social interaction. Whether it’s academics or student activities, Universidad de Salamanca offers a comprehensive experience. The faculty members are supportive, ensuring students grasp the course material thoroughly amidst the impressive educational quality.

I was there only for a one year master, but I enjoyed my time there and I found it very useful. The classes were fine, and the burocracy was ok (it’s never perfect).
I had a private appointment with the chief of studies right before the start to really understand the basics of the master, and that was very helpful.

In terms of campus facilities, the university boasts an exceptional study library, striking gothic-style architecture, and picturesque landscapes. Students benefit from a wide range of resources at the institution, including the chance to connect with alumni, especially those with expertise in their chosen fields. The faculty members are distinguished professionals with extensive backgrounds in the hospitality industry.

My experience at this institution has been great so far. The campus is easy to navigate, and professors are attentive to their students. The core curriculum is helpful because it introduces students to various subjects and helps them develop critical thinking skills. With dedication and focus, students can achieve excellent academic results.

I’m thrilled to be part of Aarhus University’s community, which prioritizes academic excellence and supports students every step of the way. Accessible professors and advisors have been instrumental in my success, offering guidance and mentorship that has enhanced my learning experience. I feel confident in achieving my goals, thanks to the university’s commitment to a supportive environment that fosters growth and success.

I’m absolutely loving my time at Aarhus University! The campus is modern and beautiful, with state-of-the-art facilities and a great location in the heart of the city. The professors are all super knowledgeable and passionate about their subjects, and the classes are engaging and interactive. Plus, the international community is really strong here, so I’ve made friends from all over the world. The only downside is that the bureaucracy can be a bit slow sometimes, but overall I’d totally recommend AU to anyone looking for a great education and an amazing student experience!”

I really loved the course and the university. The professors are very well prepared and keen on educating to the best the young professionals.
The international atmosphere is also something very motivating and allows the dynamic to be very open-minded.

The teachers are very attentive and offer a very individualized education, since we are few students in the grade. The training focuses a large part of its attention on clinical practices, which greatly facilitates learning.
The negative point is the high demand of the degree and the fact that the schedules are so changing and demanding.

My journey at Pompeu Fabra has been nothing short of inspiring. The university’s emphasis on research and real-world application ignited a fire within me to explore my field in depth. My professors were more than just educators; they were passionate mentors who challenged me to think critically and independently. The vibrant energy of Barcelona, combined with the university’s international focus, created an environment where I felt both stimulated and supported. UPF has equipped me with a robust skill set and a global perspective, preparing me to make a meaningful impact on the world.

The university programmes are quite intense and requires a lot of dedication and hours and pushes you to the limits of critical thinking, but that is what moulds an engineer in true sense, the bridging between academia and industry is commendable. The only problem is the lack of parity of tution fee for Non-EU international students which is almost 10x compared to others if you don’t secure a scholarship.

The university is an excellent technical university, especially in Aerospace Engineering. The Aerospace faculty is, in general, knowledgeable and approachable. English is the official language of instruction which, as an international student myself, is nice. Academically, I found the coursework extremely relevant and challenging. Housing is an issue here in Delft. I would recommend coming several months before you intend to start your studies to find a place to stay.

The teachers are very good and there are a lot of possibilities to ask them questions and get help if there are any difficulties. The courses given are very nice and interesting if you like maths and physics ! Since it is an engineering degree, the career opportunities are endless. It all depends on the master you choose to follow after the bachelor.
Last year the courses were online so unfortunately the student life wasn’t that great but this year everything changed. So as covid won’t be a problem in the future, the student life will be great! There are however only three faculties that teach in english so there are a lot more dutch people than internationals. This is not a problem but it is very difficult to find housing since most of the student houses in delft accept only dutch people. You should look into that well before starting every year.

It is a good university that really wants the student to learn.
The buildings are good, we even have a flight simulator and an old aircraft.
Teachers are really helpful, they are willing to explain you what you didn’t understand if needed.
I would choose it again

The Polytechnic University of Valencia was where I did my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. As for the facilities it offers, they are extraordinary because the campus offers you as a student many facilities to train both academically and professionally, as well as develop links with the people of the university through programs or in spaces focused for this, such as the Casa de l’Alumne or sports facilities. On the other hand, the degree I studied is very well planned and you have many facilities to develop your ideas. My experience as a student was very positive in this university.

I think that the university location and university life are incredible and you can meet people very nice but in some degrees, the way to teach is so outdated, like in my degree is so much theory instead of having lots of practice.

A good university overall. Good facilities. Located in the Brainport of Europe so finding a job is not a hard thing. It requires a lot of self-study as lecturers can be very old school. The city is not the most lively but just good enough to balance study and social life.

I think that Eindhoven University of Technology is a great university in terms of facilities and opportunities to explore which area of Electrical Engineering you like the most. Unfortunately, the lecturers aren’t always very good in the 1st year, but after that it gets better. Also, as an international student I experience a sense of isolation when instructors speak to Dutch to the students, since they assume that everyone in the group can understand it. This happens outside of lectures.

I did my BSc in Psychology and Technology and loved the combination of majors because it opens a wide assortment of career prospects.
The one thing I slightly disliked is the research I was a part of. Could be that the Psychology department could still use some work.
One thing I hated was one of the obligatory courses Engineering Design, where I was not equipped prior with enough knowledge and skill to contribute meaningfully, resulting in me feeling bad about myself.

Overall, the structure of the first year is sometimes a bit unorganised and some subject e.g. Accounting is taught badly. Despite this I cannot regret to study here, mostly because its amazing international environment and the practical approaches for some of the subjects e.g. Strategic Business Plan where we have to cooperate with a real company.

I studied abroad at Erasmus University and had an amazing experience. Teaching is to a very high standard – you can tell professors care about the students and do everything they can to help us understand. The campus is beautiful and the facilities are amazing – the library and polak building has everything you need to study. There are so many international students and I found it so easy to make friends because the ESN (Erasmus student network) organised so many events and trips. Definitely would recommend this university.

What I really like about this uni is that there is a campus. This is different from other universities in the Netherlands where different faculties are located at other places. It gives a feeling of connecting with others easily. I think we have nice buildings and a good education system. What can be improved is providing more information sometimes. When choosing courses for instance, there is lack of a good explanation of what the course is about.

My program of study is psychology, and I do think Tilburg University is doing an amazing job in shaping my future.
I really like the classes, they are very relevant for being a therapist, and we have the opportunity to choose a major. Having a major keeps students motivated since we are working in a direction that we like and all of the classes are very relevant for each individual.
There are a few things that could be improved, I think the mental support can do much better. The study workload is very high and I do think teachers should be a bit more understanding at times when students are struggling.

I enjoyed many courses that Tilburg University offers to its students. I am studying International Business Administration and so far (done with 2 out of 3 years) I loved the most marketing, operation management and project management. The teaches of these 3 courses also were always available for a feedback and gave some interesting insights when student reached out to them. Overall (also with other courses offered) – I have a feeling I can ask any question I have and the lecturers will do their best to explain the concept/any other question you might have.

I liked that our professors were experts in the field. I also liked the ability to specialize in my master’s course. I was enrolled in the Law and Technology masters program and the program covered a wide range of technology areas such as cybercrime, data protection, intellectual property. My colleagues were very international, driven and nice. There were also a lot of internship and research opportunities if you are interested.

In my opinion, IU did a good job of creating an advanced and open platform for students all around the world. All the procedures, teachers and assistants at IU are excellent which is helpful and enthusiastic. However due to the overwhelm of students with help, their responses took a bit of time but I don’t have a problem with that. I truly will recommend IU to those in need.

Really liked the freedom of studying online. The live sessions are well explained, as well as the course’s content. I’m enrolled in the BSc of Data Science and I’m on my 3rd semester. Would recommend this uni

I am on a twenty four month International Management masters programme at IUBH. I have already done 18 months and have to say that it is one of the best universities offering online learning. IUBH has a very stable digital infrastructure that ensures a smooth online experience. The learning material is fully handed over to the student and one studies at their own pace.
I have discovered that although student engagement is not so active, the qualified and sensitive tutors, who have wide industry experience in their respective fields are always available to provide support to the students. Many tutors have been so helpful in guiding me in my revision for exams. However few have been reluctant in providing such guidance and insist that I work on my own in the revision.
I have also observed that the large international student population at IUBH seems to overwhelm the student office and so enquiries may, occasionally, take long to get a response. However, every enquirer, will definitely get a reply to their issue.

My time at Universidad de Navarra has been absolutely fantastic. It’s an amazing place to study, and I’m gaining immense value from my degree. The teachers are wonderful—supportive, approachable, and deeply knowledgeable. The friendly faculty members are well-versed in their subjects. Industry professionals frequently visit, providing invaluable insights. The university offers diverse programs taught by experienced professors across various disciplines.

Overall, with all the exchange students, the university has many programs for students who don’t speak Spanish. The campus is beautiful and really green. Most of the students are from south america so it might be harder to connect with people whose first language is spanish, but there are other options. As a full degree student my curriculum does not include language courses which is a big thumbs down. The teachers don’t have the best Eenglish knowledge and pronounciation.
I would recommend the school for exchange students but as a full time student you might want to look into it harder to make sure this is what you want

The university has really great people to surround yourself with , and the city itself is amazing , learning about other cultures is really interesting you get to meet people from all around the world and overall the campus is definitely one of the best and prettiest in Spain yet located in a safe beautiful town.
