STUDYING OVERSEAS can broaden students' horizons and they can learn much more by experiencing another culture, making new friends and learning another language.

Many employers now look favourably on those who have spent time abroad.

Undergraduate or postgraduate study in France or Germany are excellent options to consider for students who cannot get into universities in Hong Kong.

France and Germany offer interesting architecture, centuries-old cultures, unique cuisines and endless travel possibilities. Both countries are at the crossroads of Europe and are serviced by budget airlines and have excellent rail links.

Students who feel they may have a problem learning French or German need not be put off because both countries offer a range of courses taught in English, or in English at the outset with the switch to the host country's language made once the student has had time to settle in.

About 500 students from Hong Kong travel to France or Germany each year to take up medium to long courses.
