Preparation and application process for a top university
The UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany are the European countries with the most top-ranked universities in the world. Although it is the second smallest continent, Europe is home to more than 500 of the top 1,500 universities worldwide. For this reason, there is significant competition to gain access to universities like the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, IE University Madrid, or indeed universities such as Fordham, USA. It is a mission that requires hard work, dedication but also valuable information from people with experience in the field.
