Safe country
Compared to other countries, Croatia is a safe country. In the city or in the countryside, day or night, you can walk freely. At a time when the world fears of security, Croatia is one of the oases of peace. Foreign citizens who come to live in Croatia often point out security as one of the things they value most in that country. Also, Croatia offers economic and political stability, which makes it an ideal place to study.

Accredited Universities
Most of the Universities are accredited by the European education system and is recognised all around the world. Many Universities also have tie ups with Universities in USA, UK, France, Germany etc. It is always interesting to check if the University you plan to study has such tie ups… because if they do then you could do a semester in another country for the same fee. Which is truly a great deal.

Courses are in English Languages
All the courses that we are working with in these Universities are in English language. Hence the student don’t have to learn the local language to attend the course. However, being in a foreign country, it is always good to know the local language at least to the extent of being able to go to the market or make local friends.

Innovation and research
Many Croatian innovators and scientists are known outside Croatia, such as Nikola Tesla, SlavoljubPenkala, or FranjoHanaman. Also, a large number of lesser-known innovators receive awards and medals at various world innovation fairs each year. Every year, The Ministry of Economy, Entrepreneurship, and Crafts is investing more and more money in new patents in Croatia. One of the best examples of success in Croatia is Mate Rimac, an entrepreneur and founder of the Croatian car company RimacAutomobili.

Excellent quality of programs & courses
The University of Split and the University of Zagreb are the only two Croatian universities in The Times Higher Education World University Rankings. The Times list evaluates universities according to 13 indicators classified into five categories – teaching (learning environment, staff-to-student ratio, bachelors and doctoral students, institutional income, etc.), then research, citations, international indicators (such as the number of foreign students and teachers, and international cooperation ) and finally the income of the industry (“transfer of knowledge to the economy”, how much the university helps the industry with innovations and inventions).

The abundance of job opportunities
Every year Croatia has better and better tourist results. Although 10 years ago there were over 300 thousand unemployed, today the situation is different. Over 50,000 foreigners work every year in Croatia. Many construction workers in Croatia are also migrant workers (according to some statistics, about 30,000 workers are missing). Since 2020, the Government of the Republic of Croatia has enabled exchange students to work through student contracts. The minimum hourly wage of students is around 25 kuna.

Affordable costs
Compared to other European countries, Croatia is known as relatively cheap to live in. The biggest cost in Croatia is housing. Monthly rents are significantly different from the place of residence. However, prices are still lower than in the western countries of the European Union. If you’re in an apartment, cooking is more worthwhile than going to restaurants. In Croatia, lunch for two people in an average restaurant costs a minimum of 20 euros. Specifically, prices in restaurants and supermarkets are very similar to prices in the western countries of the European Union. The tuition fee is also lower then other European Universities.

Well connected to the world
Last on the list of reasons to study in Croatia. Croatia is well connected with the rest of Europe. Throughout the year, you can fly from Croatian cities to almost all European destinations. Also, with the development of tourism, there are more and more direct flights to destinations outside Europe. Airports in Croatia are Zagreb (the largest Croatian international airport), Split, Dubrovnik, Osijek, Zadar Pula, Brac, Losinj, and Rijeka / Krk. The best example of a large increase in the number of passengers is the Split airport. In 2013, there were only 1.5 million passengers while in 2019 that number was 3.3 million passengers.
