Why Study in EU?

Pursuing a higher degree in EU is an amazing experience. It allows one to establish intercultu­ral contacts, gain invaluable insights into a new culture, learn a new language, and grow as a person.

“Education should not be restricted within the four walls of the classroom. There is an opportunit­y for one to learn everyday, why not bring it up a notch up and pursue higher education in EU?” said Ambassador Jessen. “Through EHEF, we want to encourage all Filipino students, teachers, members of the academe to grab this oppor- and excellent post-graduate and doctorate degree programs from top-notch EU universiti­es.”

During the fair, participan­ts and prospectiv­e applicants learned more about the EU education system and way of life through a series of lectures and talks. Visitors also had the opportunit­y to talk with EU alumni volunteers at the event.
