Introduction to Europass

Learning opportunities in Europe

There are countless opportunities for (postgraduate) study or training in Europe. Anyone who wants to learn abroad in Europe can find the right offer with Europass. The Europass platform is linked to national databases for learning opportunities from all EU countries. This makes it possible to search for courses, degree programmes or training or to have suggestions displayed that match your personal profile.

The more detail you include in your profile, the better the suggestions Europass can make. For example, information on your own interests and goals as well as on the countries you are interested in are also relevant. Currently, the Europass portal does not yet contain courses from all EU countries, so the course search is still available in the beta version. In the future, the search for learning opportunities will be further expanded so that Europass can provide even better support to all those who want to learn abroad.

The Europass portal also bundles questions on the comparability and recognition of qualifications in Europe: Is my qualification comparable with a qualification from another European country? How can I get my qualification recognised in other countries and who can advise me on this?

The Europass Portal offers information on:

  • National guidance centres and websites in the individual Member States,
  • Recognition of qualifications within Europe,
  • Information for people from countries outside the EU.
