Universities In Western Europe That Teach In English

The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. There are many universities in western Europe that teach in English.


Western Europe has long been attractive to American students who wish to study abroad. The region offers history, culture and art as well as the opportunity to visit multiple countries via train or automobile. Some students may elect to enroll in either a study abroad program run by their school or an American university located in western Europe. In either case, the majority of classes will most likely be taught in English.
