Transfering credits from USA to EUROPE

Applying to College
1

Hello everyone, I was looking for some advise.

Basically I am very frustrated right now because I can’t find any information regarding transferring credits from a US college to a european university.

I just finished my sophomore year at college and have decided to move to Europe (study there and live there after I finish studying). I am currently in a bachelors program at my college. My plan is to finish this fall semester (fall of 2015) at my college because I think it is to late to apply for european college) and then move to europe to start the spring semester there. I wanted to know if it is possible to transfer some of the credits I have here in the USA to european colleges, so I dont waste these two and a half years I did here in the USA. I have searched countless times without any luck in finding this information. I appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

“Europe” consist of over 40 countries containing many thousands of universities (Please tell me you understand this! Probably best not to consider moving to another continent if you have no grasp of geography). No-one can answer your question unless you specify at least the country, and probably the specific institution you wish to transfer to. Be aware that in many countries there is no concept of transfer, so you will get zero credit. You may also have to prove competency in the local language before you can enrol, and you may only be able to enrol in the Autumn. You also cannot just move to Europe if you’re not a citizen of any European country. You will need a work visa or a student visa. Obtaining a student visa usually requires proof of funds to support yourself for the entire duration of your course of study (including all necessary tuition fees).
