A Report states that in 2022, approximately 1.66 million international students were enrolled across European universities, with this number projected to rise as more students choose Europe for its diverse academic and cultural advantages.
Europe is gaining popularity as a stable and affordable academic hub. Programmes like Erasmus+ and government-supported initiative offer strong incentives for students seeking high-quality education with manageable tuition and living costs. In the most of the European Union countries, International students are allowed to work part time while studying (with the student Visa or with a student work permit) and full time during holidays.
Students and Research scholars may stay at least around a years’ time after completing their intended studies or research to look for a job or to set up business and thereby Europe also benefit from their skills
Students and researchers may move more easily within the EU during their stay. In future, they will not need to file a new visa application, but only to notify the member state to which they are moving, for example to do a one-semester exchange. Researchers will also be able to move for longer periods than those currently allowed
Researchers have the right to bring their family members with them and these family members are entitled to work during their stay in Europe
Students have the right to work at least 15 hours a week
