World-Class Universities. Near-Zero Tuition. A Route Into the EU.
Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Sweden offer university education that competes with the UK and Australia — at a fraction of the cost. Some charge no tuition at all. Graduation opens post-study work rights, EU Blue Card eligibility, and a permanent residency pathway that most Indian students do not know exists.
Europe Has the Best Value Education in the World. Most Indian Students Overlook It.
TU Munich, RWTH Aachen, TU Delft, ETH Zurich, KTH Stockholm — these institutions rank in the global top 100 and produce graduates working at the frontier of engineering, technology, and business. Their tuition? Often zero.
But the visa process is country-specific and unfamiliar. Blocked accounts, motivation letters, health insurance requirements, and language proficiency rules vary by country. Without guidance, students either choose the wrong country, the wrong program, or submit incomplete applications.
The immigration pathway after graduation — job seeker visas, EU Blue Cards, and national skilled worker permits — is structured but poorly understood. Most students only discover these options after they graduate, when they should have planned for them from the start.
We Match You to the Right European Country, Program, and Immigration Pathway.
At 91 Travel, we advise across Germany, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, and Switzerland — helping you choose the country and program that best fits your academic goals, financial situation, and long-term immigration intent.
Every recommendation includes post-graduation pathway mapping: job seeker visas, EU Blue Card eligibility, and the timeline to permanent residency in your chosen country.

Questions We Hear Every Day
Do I need to speak a European language to study in Europe?
Not necessarily. Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden all offer significant numbers of English-taught Master's programs. France largely requires French for public university programs. We assess language requirements for specific programs as part of every counselling session.
Is a European degree recognised globally?
Yes — degrees from accredited European universities are recognised internationally. Degrees from TU Munich, TU Delft, ETH Zurich, and other top institutions carry the same global professional weight as degrees from equivalent UK or Australian universities.
Can I bring my family while studying in Europe?
Rules vary by country. Germany allows family reunification for students in certain circumstances. The Netherlands and France have specific conditions. We advise on family arrangements as part of the overall study strategy.
What happens after graduation if I want to settle in Europe?
Post-study work authorisation, EU Blue Card eligibility, and national skilled worker visa pathways all apply depending on your country and employment situation. Germany's pipeline — zero tuition, 18-month job seeker permit, EU Blue Card, 21-month PR — is the strongest available.
Is Switzerland part of the EU Blue Card system?
No — Switzerland is not an EU member. Immigration rules differ from EU member states. The Swiss work permit and long-term residency pathway is separate from EU Blue Card eligibility. We advise on Swiss immigration specifically for students considering ETH Zurich or EPFL.
