Recommended Countries for Studies
Taking into account language level, costs, accessibility and chosen field:
Romania
  • Backup alternative, if international options become financially inaccessible
  • Universities: UB, UBB, UAIC (Foreign Languages, Pedagogy)
United Kingdom (only with financial support + IELTS)
Strong programmes in English Literature:
  • University of Kent
  • University of York
  • University of Reading
  • University of East Anglia
IELTS Academic required: min. 6.5
Netherlands (English programmes, lower costs than UK)
Recommended programmes:
  • University of Groningen – English Language & Culture
  • Radboud University – Arts & Culture Studies
  • Utrecht University – Comparative Literature
English required: IELTS 6.0-6.5
Scholarship possibilities for EU
Italy / France
  • Not countries known for modern language programmes in English at bachelor level
  • Would require local language at B2-C1 level, so minimum 1-2 years preparation in parallel
  • Possible only if she learns Italian or French intensively, but not impossible to find
Asia
It's an interesting idea, but would require a much more solid plan (language, scholarship, culture, logistics)
Immediate Recommendations
English language certification – IELTS Academic or Cambridge First (FCE)
Participation in olympiads or competitions in English language / essays / public speaking
Educational volunteering
(e.g.: tutoring children, summer camps – useful for application)
Adding extracurricular activities
Reading clubs, British culture, theatre in English, etc.
Useful platforms
FutureLearn, OpenLearn, Coursera (free courses in literature/teaching)
Consultation with a counsellor for options in Netherlands/UK
But also more accessible alternatives (e.g. Poland, Hungary – modern languages in English)
