Once upon a time, this alpine nation was also the dominant political and military force in Europe, and though it perhaps doesn’t quite enjoy this level of power today, it is still an influential and eminent part of the continent.

Sandwiched between Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary (with which it was once unified), Switzerland, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Lichtenstein, Austria is located pretty much in the dead center of Europe, forming a bridge between east and west.

It is dominated by the Alps in its southeast and center, and the Danube – 10% of which lies within the nation’s borders – on which the capital city Vienna was built.
Said city is home to over a quarter of Austria’s population, and boasts the world’s highest quality of

In terms of higher education, Austria’s system is extremely internationalized. More than 15% of the total tertiary enrolment in the country is made up of international students, rising up to more than 20% if only advanced research programs are considered.
In fact, according to the OECD, 1.6% of all international students study in Austria – not a bad figure at all for a nation of such diminutive proportions.

The nation’s leading university, Universität Wien, sits at 160 in the 2012/13 QS World University Rankings, and is joined by Technische Universität Wien (274), Universität Innsbruck (276), Karl- Franzens-Universität Graz (373), Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (451-500), Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg (551-600) and Alpen-Adria- Universität Klagenfurt (601+).
STUDY IN AUSTRIA It may be relatively small, but
Austria has much to offer as a study destination, including a number of universities which rank among the world's best.
In terms of area, Austria is no bigger than the US state of Maine, and in terms of population, it is home to fewer people than London or Paris – but Austria should not be judged by its size.
This is, after all, the nation which gave us Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sigmund Freud and Ludwig Wittgenstein (and let’s not forget: Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Von Trappe family).

BELGIUM: TOP TEN THINGS TO DO
Heading to Belgium for a degree or shorter period of study? Make sure you fit in these top ten things to do while you're there.
Famous for its beer and waffles, Belgium is a country that is often underestimated. Situated at the crossroads of Europe – bordering France, Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg – this small nation of ten million people is in fact a political hub, home to both the EU and NATO.
With its unique character and impressive array of natural and architectural beauty, Belgium has many an experience to offer.
TopUniversities.com has come up with the top ten things any student should do to make the most of time studying abroad in Belgium.
Rock Werchter Festival
Winner of the ‘Arthur award’ for the best music festival in the world for four years running (2003-2006), Rock Werchter is an unmissable four-day party and a chance to check out some of the world’s biggest and best bands. A list of acts that have appeared in recent years resembles a who’s who of the contemporary music scene: The Arcade Fire, Muse, Coldplay, The Killers, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Oasis and REM, to name a few. It’s no wonder Rock Werchter attracts 130,000 people every year from all over the continent.
If music festivals are your thing, Belgium’s location at the heart of Europe ensures the continent’s summer festivals are at your fingertips. Other major Belgian music festivals include Pukkelpop and Dour (that’s the name of the region it’s held in, not a description of the bands!).
Bruges - as beautiful as they say
One of Europe’s best-preserved medieval towns and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Bruges is Belgium’s answer to Venice. A picturesque assortment of
cobbled squares, canals and quaint architecture, Bruges may not be the place to go for a wild party, but it’s certainly easy on the eye.
Wandering around the pedestrianized centre, you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported back in time to a 15th century market town, (along with a few thousand other tourists for company!).
There are few better places to go for a relaxing weekend that will feel a million miles, and several hundred years, away from the hustle
Sample Belgian beer (be careful, it’s strong!)
Belgium is a nation that takes its beer very seriously. Well-known exported brands such as Stella Artois, Hoegaarden and Leffe are just the tip of the iceberg - microbreweries produce hundreds of beers ranging from pale ale to limbic and Flemish red.
Casual sippers will be spoilt for choice at the many beer-halls throughout the country, but the choice for the serious connoisseur is the specialist breweries run by Trappist monks.
and bustle of modern city life. Bruges really is as beautiful as the guidebooks say it is.
Did you know? Beer has been around since 9,000BC, and throughout the Middle Ages Belgian monks consumed gallons of the stuff. They also had plenty of time on their hands to perfect their brewing technique.
Not all of the Trappist breweries are open to the public, but of the ones that are, perhaps the best-known is Chimay in western Belgium. Here, visitors can sample traditional beverages, as well as other minor deviations from the austere monastic lifestyle, such as cheese.
Moules-frites at Ste-Catherine, Brussels
Whereas the English go for battered cod with their chips, the Belgians choose 'moules' (mussels) as their accompaniment of choice with frites (chips). Arguably a somewhat more refined dish than that found across the channel (a greasy riot of carbohydrates wrapped in translucent newspaper), moules- frites is particularly popular in
French-speaking parts of Belgium, including Brussels.
No trip to the capital would be complete without a plate of moules- frites washed down with a glass of Belgian beer. For the very best in town, head to Ste-Catherine - the fish market neighborhood.
Explore the Ardennes, using pedal power
With its rustic scenery and flat landscape, the Belgian countryside is a casual cyclist’s dream. Though the Ardennes feature a few more ups and downs than the northern parts of the country, they are generally of a fairly gradual nature – and the beautiful countryside views will more than make up for any exertion.
Located in the south of Belgium in Wallonia, the Ardennes are known as Belgium’s ‘green lung’. Covered in picturesque forests, secluded rivers and unspoilt nature reserves, the Ardennes form a perfect backdrop for a relaxing ride.
