Why Kochi Students Choose Europe for Higher Education

• English-taught programmes: 2,000+ Master programmes taught entirely in English across Europe — no European language required for many courses.
• Post-study work visa: Most European countries offer 1-2 year job search visas after graduation, with Germany offering 18 months.
• High ROI: Total cost of a 2-year Master in Germany is Rs 12-16 lakh. Average starting salary in Germany: EUR 45,000-60,000/year (Rs 43-57 lakh/year).
• Globally recognised degrees: European university degrees are respected by Indian MNCs, global employers, and for further education anywhere in the world.
