Top 10 EU Best Countries for Higher Studies 🇧🇩 Scholarships, Costs & Benefits Explained

Summary

The video offers the host’s personal guidance for Bangladeshi students considering studying abroad. Although the title refers to the “Top 10 EU” countries, the subtitles discuss 11 European destinations, briefly mention Switzerland, and then discuss China separately.

The host stresses that these are suggestions, not a universal ranking. The right destination depends on a student’s finances, academic record, career goals, and whether they hope to settle abroad.

General advice for choosing a destination

• Decide why you want to go abroad. The host distinguishes between studying, improving career prospects, earning money, pursuing business, and eventually settling down.
• Assess your budget and personal circumstances. Tuition, living expenses, scholarship availability, and plans to bring a spouse can affect which country is realistic.
• Don’t copy someone else’s application plan. Another student’s finances, academic profile, and goals may differ from yours.
• Check current requirements directly. Consult university websites and official study portals for application details, as requirements and immigration rules may change.
• Consider trade-offs, not just headline benefits. The host broadly characterizes Europe as offering a high standard of living alongside high taxes and expenses. He suggests the Middle East may better suit people focused on saving or building assets, though he says he will discuss that comparison in another video.

Country-by-country points

• Finland: Presented as attractive for quality of life, bringing a spouse, and potentially pursuing permanent residence. Tuition can be a challenge, so scholarships matter. The host says a strong academic record is important—especially a good bachelor’s result for master’s applicants—and that publications may help PhD applicants. He cautions that scholarships and job opportunities are not guaranteed and that immigration requirements can become stricter.
• Denmark: Described as having reputable universities and an international student population, but relatively high tuition. The host says it may suit students who can cover the costs, including those planning to bring a spouse and earn income.
• Belgium: Recommended as a less-discussed option with comparatively affordable tuition and living costs, though fees vary by university. The host says spouse-related arrangements depend on the institution and that orderly documentation is important for visa applications.
• Italy: Presented as an option for bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD study, with relatively low tuition and living costs and scholarship opportunities. The host also mentions work opportunities and a sizable Bangladeshi community. He says permanent residence may be more difficult and emphasizes having complete documents.
• Czech Republic: Suggested for bachelor’s and master’s students. The host says graduates may find job opportunities, while permanent residence can take time. He recommends checking university information before applying.
• Germany: Described as a popular destination with many opportunities. The host mentions possible long waits for visa appointments, though this part of the subtitles is unclear. He also refers to other routes and opportunities but does not explain them in detail.
• Netherlands: Presented as an option with good facilities and universities that differ in their language-test requirements. The host says some may require a test while others may not, so applicants should verify each institution’s current rules.
• Iceland: The host briefly mentions the University of Iceland and a language-test score of around 6.5. His comments about tuition and the amount of money needed are unclear in the subtitles, so those details should be checked independently.
• France: Suggested as another option, but the host says it can be expensive. He believes a foreign scholarship can ease financial and visa concerns.
• Sweden: Described as clean and appealing for students with strong academic results. The host mentions the SI scholarship and identifies technology, IT, computer science, and finance as fields to consider. His reference to language-test requirements is unclear in the subtitles.
• Poland: Presented as a possible destination, particularly for master’s and PhD students. The host mentions opportunities in IT and finance and says PhD holders may receive good support. He cautions students to understand the local currency and how wages compare with costs, and notes that the country is cold.
• Switzerland: Mentioned only briefly alongside Sweden as a possible option; no detailed assessment is provided.

Separate discussion of China

Drawing on his experience as a cybersecurity researcher in China, the host says China may suit students seeking affordable tuition, a strong academic environment, and a comfortable lifestyle, but may not be an easy place to settle permanently.

He advises students to:

• Apply to reputable, appropriately ranked universities rather than choosing a school solely through an agent.
• Examine scholarship terms carefully, especially conditional or university-specific awards.
• Prefer a genuine government scholarship when possible. The host names CSC and a second acronym that is unclear in the subtitles.
• Avoid relying on an agent’s promises or taking on large debt without understanding the conditions.
• Build a strong academic and professional profile, which the host believes can improve opportunities in China and elsewhere.

The host repeatedly clarifies that he is sharing general opinions, not handling visa applications or guaranteeing outcomes. He encourages students to research official requirements and choose based on their own circumstances.

Speakers and sources featured

• The host/presenter: The only clearly identifiable speaker. He shares personal opinions and advice, including observations based on his work and life in China.
• “Bikaz,” described by the host as an elder brother: Mentioned briefly as an example of someone preparing to study in Italy with a scholarship; he does not speak in the subtitles.
