Participating Countries
In its 11th year in Singapore, Study In Europe presents the many diverse study programmes
on offer throughout Europe and highlights a range of scholarship options that could make
studying in Europe easier for international students. These programmes bring together
students from all regions of the world. The intent is to help students forge lasting links to their
universities, and help globalize both the nations that host them and Europe at large.
This popular annual education fair seeks to connect students in Singapore with universities in
Europe and provide them access to information about institutions they might be interested in
studying at, the application process together with details of various bond-free scholarships.
The fair provides information about the many European universities, where courses are
conducted in English.

• Denmark • Finland • France • Germany • Ireland • Italy • Netherlands 2017 also marks 30 years of the EU’s student exchange programme Erasmus+ which offers
• Norway• Poland • Spain • Sweden • Switzerland • United Kingdom university students the possibility of studying or doing an internship in another country.
Erasmus+ funding includes support for education and training staff, youth workers, partnerships
between universities, colleges, schools, enterprises, and not-for-profit organisations.

I am pleased to see that 13 European countries - Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,

#SIE17 Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom -
are participating in #SIE17 this year.

I hope students and parents looking at further study options in Europe will find both this fair as
EUinSingapore @EUinSingapore well as the information presented in this booklet useful.
