The experience of studying in Europe if you come from Asia

Europe is a place very open to international students. In Spain, also, you will find a warm welcoming in a society familiar with integrating people from very different cultures. Although students from Asian countries are not the most common in the Spanish University community, you will find students from China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, India… easily establishing links with people from all continents. In fact, at CEU our students are of over 70 different nationalities.

CEU Universities have signed agreements with major European companies and with prestigious university centres from other countries.
