Luxembourg ranks 6th among the top ten most liveable cities in the world by Mercer's. The southern two-thirds of Luxembourg is known as the Bon Pays, or Gutland (French and German: “Good Land”). The Bon Pays is densely populated and contains the capital city, Luxembourg, as well as smaller industrial cities such as Esch-sur-Alzette.

Luxembourg has a modernised road transportation system with motorways connecting capital city to other adjacent countries. As for the railway services, Luxembourg has the high speed TGV that links to Paris. Luxembourg also has airports, tram services, etc crediting to its effective transport system.

Its culture, people, and languages are highly intertwined with its neighbours, making it essentially a mixture of French and German cultures, as evident by the nation's three official languages: French, German, and the national language of Luxembourgish.

The accommodation costs for most cities in and around Luxembourg can range from anywhere between 500 to 800 Euros per month. The rates are high in central areas of Luxembourg City and students can get more affordable rates with sharing between two or more people.

Good German language skills can help you feel more at home in German speaking countries. No prior German language knowledge is necessary if you enrol in an English-language degree programme, but you do need very good English skills.

The best thing is that most of the universities offer the possibility to learn German for the daily use of the language before or during the English taught study program in Germany. We recommend that you acquire theses German skills as it opens up for careers and the German job market, but stress that this is not a mandatory part of the study program / schedule.
