It being one of the most popularly pursued academic degrees out there, you can expect to find a degree abroad in Economics available in most cities and countries around the world. So while you may take your pick according to which seems like the most exciting and fruitful opportunity, here are some extra considerations to take into account while deciding on your destination.

First and most obvious is the language barrier. While you can earn a degree abroad in economics pretty much anywhere, you must also reconcile with the fact that universities in most countries tend to use their native tongue as the medium of education. If you are in the process of acquiring a language or want to learn one, earning your economics degree abroad in a non-English speaking country can be a challenge which pays off big time.

Next, the scope of your economics education will also likely be affected by level of development of your host country. For instance if you are earning your economics degree abroad in Germany, your education might be a tad more speculative than in a country such as Thailand which is still in the process of industrialization. The point being: different countries have different national economic priorities, which can bleed into the content of your education.
