Studying in Europe

[ch@rge]

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday I quit my job, the boss was a colossal c*nt and I just couldn't take the bullying anymore. So I struck a deal, get paid for the next 4 months, and now have some free time on my hands!

I'm looking at studying in Europe next year - I'm keen to 'redefine' my life, and I think this is going to be the best bet.

So I was wondering, does anybody have any ideas/advice for me. I'm an EU Passport holder, in my 20s - trying to figure this whole thing out. I'm looking at the Netherlands/Belgium or Ireland (Republic) at this point.

Thanks in advance, for any/all input you can help me with!

EU passport does not give you access to EU rates

You have live in the country for a certain before you get EU rates, so it will be exspensive.

Best bet would to go to scotland, sister in law got a degree through online university, they have some universities that is free.

How Long Do You Need To Live In Scotland To Get Free University Edu?

Just wondering... doesnt apply to me BUT if as an 18 year old you moved to scotland and got temporary work could you save yourself a lifetime of debt/extra lifetime taxation? How long do you need to live in scotland to be eligable to get free university education?

Do you have lots in savings. Its going to be expensive and 4 months salary converted to EU/GBP is not going to get you far.

I'll guess I need to do a whole lot more research

I do have savings - I've calculated that I have enough to last me 6 months (In Euro terms), so it's enough time to settle(ish) and then find a job.

Brexit though. Same rules apply if you're trying to get permanent residency - need to be there for X number of years.

Its a terrifying concept....

I'm struggling to find the 'rules' stating there's a residency time period to get the preferential rates. It is per university? Does anyone have info that can point me in the right direction here.

I've got Irish citizenship, birth certificate and all - surely this counts for something?

(Thanks again for everyone's advice - I really appreciate the input and help you can give me)

I don't know about EU rules, but I did find a page that contains similar information for the UK. I think it is official, from the government. I think I found it on a government website. Because of the current close links between the EU and UK, I imagine it applies to both.

For you to be eligible for UK home fees, you have to not only have permanent residence in the UK, but also have lived in the UK for the last 3 years. So, if you get indefinite leave to remain now, you have to have moved to the UK in 2016 for you to be eligible for home rates.

I imagine there would be something similar for EU passport holders - you can't just get an EU passport, hop on a plane, and pay the low home rates.
