English-taught programmes worldwide: bachelor's and master's study in English
6,060 programmes recorded as taught fully or partly in English, plus 933 Thai programmes labelled international, at 489 universities and colleges in Belgium (Flanders), Finland, Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania and Thailand, searchable together. Finland's rows are application options, so one degree can appear once per admission route, and a Croatian joint programme appears once per institution that runs it. Each country is here because its official data records the language each programme is taught in (Thailand instead labels its international programmes). Countries whose open data doesn't record it aren't listed, so a country missing from this page may still teach in English. The UK, the US and other English-speaking countries are covered in their own sections.
Each country counts differently
Some sources record English as the only language, some as one of several. Belgium goes by where most enrolments are, and Thailand uses a label. Every row keeps its country's own definition, level name and data year. Nothing is ranked, converted between currencies or compared across countries. The list is sorted by country, then programme name.
How levels are grouped
The level filter puts every country's own level into Bachelor's, Master's or Other. Long- and single-cycle master's degrees entered straight from school (Italy, Poland, Croatia's integrated degrees, Norway's 5-year master's) and Flemish advanced master's count as Master's. Finland files some combined bachelor's-and-master's options under the master's level and others under the bachelor's, and they are grouped as filed. Associate degrees, post-master's, one-year programmes, advanced bachelor's and doctorates count as Other. The country's own label is always shown next to the group.
Countries covered
| Country | Programmes | What counts as English-taught here | Data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Belgium (Flanders) | 28020 institutions42 Bachelor's · 234 Master's · 4 other | Programmes at Flemish universities and hogescholen where English is the language with the most enrolments. The data covers the Flemish Community only; French- and German-speaking institutions aren't included.Flemish figures count enrolments under a diploma contract, at the end of the academic year — not students. Someone on two programmes counts twice. | Enrolments 2024/25 |
| FinlandFinland's English-only list | 2,14336 institutions943 Bachelor's · 909 Master's · 291 other | Application options (hakukohde) in Vipunen whose language of instruction includes English, fully or partly. A degree with several admission routes appears once for each route. Rows with no degree level, mostly single courses, are left out. | 2025 applications |
| CroatiaCroatia's English list | 7241 institutions26 Bachelor's · 32 Master's · 14 other | Programmes in the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth's register with English among their languages of instruction. Where two languages are listed the register doesn't say whether the programme is taught in both or offered in either. A joint programme appears once per institution that runs it. Integrated bachelor's-and-master's degrees are counted as Master's. | Programme register, April 2025 |
| ItalyItaly's programme finder | 1,24079 institutions217 Bachelor's · 1,023 Master's | Degree programmes in the Ministry's catalogue taught fully or partly in English, as the catalogue records it. Single-cycle master's degrees, entered straight from school, are counted as Master's. | 2025 programme catalogue |
| MontenegroMontenegro's English list | 73 institutions3 Bachelor's · 4 Master's | Entries in the Agency for Control and Quality Assurance of Higher Education's (AKOKVO) register that it marks as taught in English and lists as valid on the day the register was read. Names are shown as the register writes them. Integrated bachelor's-and-master's degrees are counted as Master's. | AKOKVO register, 24 October 2026 |
| Netherlands | 68631 institutions211 Bachelor's · 425 Master's · 50 other | Programmes in DUO's register with English, or English and Dutch, as a language of instruction. DUO records no language for 1,226 Dutch programmes, so the true number is higher. | DUO register, July 2026 |
| Norway | 4616 institutions14 Bachelor's · 25 Master's · 7 other | Programmes DBH records as taught in English, among only those in DBH's admission-points table, which is the part of DBH this site holds. Programmes outside that table aren't in our data, so this is far from every English-taught programme in Norway. | 2024 |
| PolandPoland's English-taught list | 967141 institutions443 Bachelor's · 524 Master's | Programmes in the Ministry's RAD-on register with English among their languages of instruction. The fee is what the programme charges a year for study in a foreign language, in złoty, where the university reports it, with the year where the register gives one. Long-cycle master's degrees are counted as Master's.Full-time study in Polish at a public university is free for Polish citizens and, on the same terms, for citizens of the EU/EEA. The fees shown are what universities charge otherwise: for study in a foreign language (usually English), for foreigners studying full-time in Polish without that entitlement, and for part-time study. | RAD-on register, September 2026 |
| RomaniaRomania's English-taught list | 61951 institutions186 Bachelor's · 433 Master's | Bachelor's and master's programmes that the government's nomenclature decrees list with English as a language of instruction.Programme names are as registered in the decree, in Romanian; study domains are CollegeMatcher's translations. Where no location or language is given, the programme runs at the institution's seat, in Romanian. | 2026/27 |
| Thailand | 93371 institutions385 Bachelor's · 287 Master's · 261 other | Programmes the ministry labels as international (หลักสูตรนานาชาติ). The label usually means English-taught, but it isn't a language of instruction. Some universities that teach largely in English, Mae Fah Luang the best known, don't use it, so they are undercounted. | Ministry intake-plan register |
Language data that isn't a programme list
- Kazakhstan publishes how many students at each university are taught in Kazakh, Russian or English, but not which programmes. That data is on the Kazakhstan pages, not in this list.
- Austria's programme register has no language of instruction, so its programmes aren't listed here.
