I have an EU passport (I'm American), and was considering doing my masters (probably in history). I was wondering if people could share stories, etc, any advice would be appreciated.
How lingustically flexible are you? How important is the financial side of thengs? What is your climate preference, and what are you looking for otherwise?
Fortunately enough, finances aren't the biggest issue at this point
I'm a colder weather person, love the snow, but love variety as well
I am a Middle East history person, so where that comes into the picture I don't know
I am willing to take on the task of learning any language
I know a young man who is going to London to study Middle Eastern history at the graduate level. He learned Hebrew while working on his undergrad and proficiency in it is a requirement for his graduate degree.
If I had the means and the smarts and wanted to study ME history, I'd go to Israel.
I did a quick search just now and I have found a few options for you
Middle Eastern History MA (The University of Manchester) (http://www.manchester.ac.uk/postgraduate/taughtdegrees/courses/pgdiploma/course/?code=01251&pg=all - broken link)
I'm American and studied a MA program in Spain & Austria.
I remember Budapest Hungary has a pretty good international-related program. I think it was economics related. You could tie that into history, if you have any interest in economics and international issues.
Generally though, and especially if you like cold weather, I'd aim for Scandinavia. I believe that most of their education is all in English, and since Scandinavians have, I believe, free or nearly free education, I think whatever they charge to foreigners might be reasonably priced. Sounds like that isn't an issue, but having it in English, is certainly easier.
Only Finland and Norway still have free education. Sweden is now more expensive than most EU countries for international students, comparable to the UK, Canada, and Australia. Believe Denmark is also quite expensive. Blame Sweden and Denmark's center right governments 1) trying to impress racists who think the free education is attracting bad foreigners (their problem is with refugees, not international students), and 2) want to chip away at social welfare in all ways possible. They're going to lose a lot of talent and their English language graduate programs will likely suffer.
Overall, in the EU, Germany has many well ranked universities and the courses are affordable for international students. Germany has far more to see and do and is more diverse.
