Earn your degree while seeing the world.

  • What a difference a few days make!  I sent an update (see the link in our bio) last Saturday morning, at which point we were going to stay in Athens as planned.  That same day, things changed enough that we decided to head to Lisbon early.  Luckily our lease already started, our apartment is mostly furnished, and we already had our keys! Nice to nesting in our new home base as we ride this out. Beyond the States helps students find information about the affordable English-taught bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Europe.

  • We’ve only been in Athens for a few days and I’m already blown away!  I’ve managed to schedule a few school visits in, squeezed in between all the incredible meals and sights.  I’ll be sure to let you know what I learn!  Greece has a total of 100 English taught bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, with tuition ranging from 2100-14500 euros per year.

  • We’re in Lisbon for the next few weeks, apartment hunting and dealing with other moving related logistics. Portugal has 107 English taught master’s degree programs, but only 10 English taught bachelor’s. Cost of living is one thing that brought us to the country and that affordability extends to tuition as well- 79 of of the 117 programs cost under $6000 per year!
