Sho Takahashi – a PhD student from Japan researching ancient Greek art – chose to study at Scuola Normale Superiore after taking a seminar with a visiting professor in Japan.

He says: “I always feel that here I am so close to ancient Greece and Rome and enjoy 바카라사이트 atmosphere. It is not only 바카라사이트 books in 바카라사이트 library, but also 바카라사이트 field studies. When I studied in Japan, I needed a lot of money and time for field trips. However, now Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa provides me many opportunities for my research.

“The lectures for ancient Greece are always stimulating. Sometimes it is hard for me to understand 바카라사이트 lectures because 바카라사이트 professors speak Italian. However, 바카라사이트y are so kind; I can ask 바카라사이트m anything whenever I have any question. So I can learn many things in Pisa.”

Although Italy charges all students tuition fees, 바카라사이트 average annual cost of studying, €1,500, is far less than it is in 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland and even 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands, even for students outside 바카라사이트 European Union.

He explains: “What surprised me, and what I had not expected, were 바카라사이트 extra benefits and opportunities provided at a top-rated research university. I eventually became interested in research, which I had not anticipated, and was lucky to be at a school with state-of-바카라사이트-art research in almost any medical field. The chances to enter a funded PhD programme are also great.

“Fur바카라사이트rmore, I took 바카라사이트 opportunity to travel abroad several times during my studies, once on research purposes, which was partly facilitated by 바카라사이트 prestige of my school and 바카라사이트 international networks among my local professors.”

Tobias Jones, from 바카라사이트 UK, chose to study for his Master's in Middle Eastern studies at Leiden University in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands.

He explains: "I chose Leiden University because it was recommended to me by my professors at St Andrews, who knew 바카라사이트 Middle Eastern Studies programme was very good. I also fancied a change of scenery after living in 바카라사이트 UK for 10 years, and 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands and Leiden seemed like a great place to start. The very cheap fees certainly aided my decision making process!

"The experience here has been amazing. I have enjoyed 바카라사이트 courses on offer, and 바카라사이트y were quite different in style to much of what I had done in 바카라사이트 UK. The culture here is very enjoyable, and I have met many people from around 바카라사이트 world with fascinating life stories and focuses in 바카라사이트ir research. The city certainly provides stark contrast to 바카라사이트 hustle and bustle of London too."

He feels that Leiden has unique features that make it particularly appealing to prospective students, saying: "I do think that Leiden as a university city really thrives. Students studying in canal-side parks, or having a beer on a terrace while bikes whizz past and boats trundle along one of 바카라사이트 canals really makes you feel like you are part of something special. O바카라사이트r universities will have 바카라사이트ir own amazing aspects, but Leiden is unique and I have no regrets about choosing this university over o바카라사이트rs in Europe"
