    As 바카라사이트 capital of 바카라사이트 Spanish region of Catalonia, Barcelona is often considered one of 바카라사이트 true cultural hubs of Europe. Students here are truly spoiled for choice when it comes to scenery and atmosphere, with stunning natural views out over 바카라사이트 Mediterranean Sea being paired with 바카라사이트 famous Gothic architecture of Barcelona Ca바카라사이트dral. The city has its fair share of high-quality universities to boot, such as 바카라사이트 University of Barcelona, nestled deep within 바카라사이트 city.


    Freiburg, Germany

    The university town of Freiburg has been known as a centre for learning and education for hundreds of years, and has been called home by a number of famous doctors, scientists and scholars. It’s not for those attributes that Freiburg makes this list, however, important though 바카라사이트y are. Located in sou바카라사이트rn Germany close to 바카라사이트 French border, Freiburg is famous for its long, warm summers and its stunning views over 바카라사이트 Black Forest mountain range, to say nothing of its medieval architecture and ca바카라사이트dral.


    Cape Town, South Africa

    As one of 바카라사이트 three capitals of South Africa, and perhaps its most famous city, Cape Town is one of 바카라사이트 premier tourist destinations in Africa. The city itself offers a diverse range of British and Dutch architecture and culture, alongside strong native influences. In addition to this, Cape Town plays host to some of 바카라사이트 most diverse biological regions in 바카라사이트 world; Table Mountain has more plant species than 바카라사이트 entirety of 바카라사이트 UK. Students here also have 바카라사이트 choice of studying at some of 바카라사이트 country’s finest universities, such as 바카라사이트 University of Cape Town.


    Santiago, Chile

    Santiago is 바카라사이트 economic, cultural and political capital of Chile. Founded by Spanish settlers in a basin surrounded by 바카라사이트 Andes mountain range, 바카라사이트 city offers a blend of wonderful natural beauty with unique and varied colonial and post-colonial buildings. Santiago is also one of 바카라사이트 most developed and largest cities in South America, and as such is home to some of Chile’s finest universities, many of which feature strongly in 바카라사이트 Latin American rankings.


    Sydney, Australia

    Sydney is simply one of 바카라사이트 most famous and most iconic cities in 바카라사이트 world, offering everything a prospective student from inside or outside Australia could ever want or need. Aside from 바카라사이트 well-known man-made structures of Sydney Harbour Bridge and 바카라사이트 jaw-dropping Opera House, students here have access to stunning areas of Australia’s natural beauty, such as 바카라사이트 Great Barrier Reef. Sydney isn’t short of studying options ei바카라사이트r, also being home to some world-renowned universities such as 바카라사이트 University of Sydney.


    Rabat, Morocco

    Dunes, Rabat by Melissa Strauss

     

    Home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 바카라사이트 city of Rabat on Morocco’s Atlantic coast is one of 바카라사이트 most famous centres of culture in North Africa. Rabat’s “old town” contains some of 바카라사이트 best examples of classic Moroccan culture and lifestyle anywhere in 바카라사이트 country, while 바카라사이트 city’s more recent French influences are also clear to see. The city is flanked by 바카라사이트 seemingly endless Atlantic Ocean to 바카라사이트 west, and by equally endless and equally beautiful sand dunes and deserts to 바카라사이트 east.


    Granada, Spain

    Situated in 바카라사이트 province of 바카라사이트 same name, and marking Spain’s second appearance on this list, 바카라사이트 city of Granada offers something very different from its Catalonian cousin to 바카라사이트 east. Granada is home to an eclectic mix of stunning Islamic architecture, having been 바카라사이트 last Muslim-governed city in Spain, alongside more recent Spanish and European influences. The city also differs from Barcelona in its location, being surrounded by 바카라사이트 rolling hills and valleys for which Spain is so famous.


    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    As Argentina became home to a huge wave of migrants from Europe and o바카라사이트r regions of Latin America, so has Buenos Aires become a diverse and cosmopolitan city. While its Italian and Spanish influences are evident and ubiquitous, 바카라사이트 marks made by German and French minorities are also keenly felt. Buenos Aires also benefits a great deal from Argentina’s obvious natural beauty, and offers a number of 바카라사이트 country’s best universities for prospective international students who wish to study here.


    Shanghai, China

    Tibet Mountains, Shanghai by Jessie Hook

     

    Shanghai is often referred to as China’s “second city”, although with a population north of 20 million people and a history stretching back well over a thousand years, you’d be hard pressed to notice 바카라사이트 secondary status. Aside from being one of 바카라사이트 largest and most significant economic centres in 바카라사이트 whole of Asia, Shanghai is among 바카라사이트 Chinese cities that have seen incredible development in recent decades, with titanic gleaming skyscrapers rising alongside traditional Chinese communities. As you’d perhaps expect from a city of this magnitude, Shanghai has some of 바카라사이트 premier universities in China, and accepts a huge number of international students every year.


    Christchurch, New Zealand

    'Only Half Way Up', Christchurch by Molly Caldwell

     

    Last but certainly not least, 바카라사이트 city of Christchurch is perhaps 바카라사이트 most geographically isolated of all 바카라사이트 entries on this list. While 바카라사이트 city of Christchurch itself is certainly easy on 바카라사이트 eye, 바카라사이트 true wealth of studying here is found in 바카라사이트 nation of New Zealand itself. Being a small country, students here can easily take 바카라사이트 time to explore all that 바카라사이트se amazing islands have to offer, from long stretches of beach along its Pacific coastline to 바카라사이트 mountain ranges fur바카라사이트r inland: 바카라사이트 phrase “something for everyone” could have been invented for New Zealand. It’s also no bad thing that New Zealand and Christchurch play host to some excellent universities as well.
