Working in Europe?

Question

Hi! I am currently studying N.diploma in South Africa and would like to complete my studies in Europe or to simply get a 6-12+ months job.

I missed an internship position in Netherlands and I cannot accept the fact that I messed up. I wish to spent a couple of months in Europe either working (real job/ internship) or alternatively studying...

What are the procedures to go about finding a job in Europe or applying for a position at the university? Will it be easy to get a job without any qualifications (I am still busy with my studies)?

Or is the best solution just to visit Europe for 4weeks so I can catch up with old frieds etc. I know it is not easy but what do you now that I don't?

I speak only English and can understand a bit of German and Dutch :( What would be the ideal place? Have friends in all the European coutries, so it doesn't really matter where I go... the world is too small.

So, what is the advise you have for me guys? Fireaway...

Sorry guys... I am busy with a National Diploma in Computer Systems Engineering (N Dip. Computer Systems)

Thank you to those of you who already answered :)

Answer 1

its best to arange a job from there. Unfortunatly i don't understand what you are studying (N.??!?) If you want to continue your sutie in Europe you can get help for that at your own university, they'll know what you can, can't should and shouldn't since you understand a bit dutch and german i'd advice you to go to the Netherlands or Germany. Do not go to France since most french refuse to speak any other language then their own. Almost all dutch of german people speak english.

Answer 2

You didn't mention what it is that you study or what kind of job you are interested in.
Have you considered Copenhagen?
It has excellent univesities ... CBS Copenhagen business school, you can basically google it all and see what works for you best. I know that some school have summer programs might be worth considering.
good luck
