University Lecturers' Strike

[jean]

Do many European students take their first degree in a foreign university, or not in their first language ?

Whether they actually do or not, they'd be better equipped than morst Brits at any stage in their careers.

I remember a friend of mine, a lecturer at a UK university, applying for a research fellowship at the European University Institute in Fiesole.

He didn't think he was likely to get it, but when he did, he realised that of course very few UK academics applied.

It depends on what you mean by "many". In several countries in other parts of Europe than UK some degree courses are taught through the medium of English. These attract local students as well as foreigners (mainly from UK and USA).

Yep, I was aware and of that.
Since Ards asked the question, no doubt rhetorical, I was just interested in the question of whether European students actually use their language skills to take their first degree outside of their own country, or in a different language. Doubtless this is much more common in hiigher degrees.
