It seems like every residency path in the EU is apparently closed or extremely hard to get into according the posts I see here quite often. 'UK is closed' 'Germany is done' 'France is incredibly competitive' 'Ireland is impossible.' What I mentioned was in virtue of EU graduates, let alone IMGs whose only hope was the UK.

Is this actually the case? All of this seems unrealistic provided that Europe has a very high rate of healthcare retirement and high percentage of elderly people which should incentivize governments to hire more medical professionals. Also, is this trend - provided it is real - expected to change in the next few years?

I hope to get factual answers instead of the usual vague comments. Much appreciated.

Hey everyone! I want to study industrial engineering bachelors in europe. Right now my main options are Groningen in the Netherlands, and Porto in Portugal. I have tried finding some other realistic options in EU, but so far this is all I got, if you know a course like that please tell me!

My plan is, get a bachelors degree and have some fun, and then do masters in a more "boring" country but greater quality, (so I get fun experience, and knowledge)I love the weather in Portugal and surfing culture, but it's a small city, and a lot of people call it boring ( pls confirm or deny ). Although it's great for partying and so beautiful.

Groningen on the other hand is a super young city, a lot of expats/internationals, plus close to a lot of major cities and the public transport is great.

My main problem is the language. I only speak English and russian, so I will have to learn Portuguese/ Dutch. Learning Dutch will give me much more opportunities, especially for engineering, but I don't think this should dictate the country. If I am going to Portugal planning to not live there and do masters somewhere else it overall seems stupid, but I love the city so much! If I go to Groningen I will possibly stay in the Netherlands ( or not ) which will ease my life, but I will miss out on a lot, judging from what people are saying.

If anyone is doing those courses, lived in those cities, or just had any advice please help! Thank you!

Hi! I’m thinking about doing my Master’s in Lublin and would love to hear from anyone who actually lives or studies there.

What’s student life like? Are there enough cafés, bars, events, etc. to keep you busy? And how does the cost of living compare with other Polish cities?

Also, is it possible to find part-time work teaching English while studying? I have an ELT degree and celta .
Would really appreciate some honest, first-hand experiences! :)
