Studying in europe

A New Opportunity for Student-Athletes

At Slamstox, we understand that the United States is not the perfect choice for everyone. That’s why we also offer unique opportunities for student-athletes who want to combine sports and studies at top universities in Europe. With our partnerships in several European countries, we help you find the ideal place where your academic goals and athletic ambitions come together.

Whether you want to stay closer to home, no longer have eligibility for the NCAA, or play a sport that is not common in the U.S. – Europe offers great opportunities for student-athletes. Work with Slamstox to create a unique and tailor-made plan.

Why combine sports and studies in europe?

Playing sports and studying in Europe offers a number of important advantages;

For those who prefer to stay near the Netherlands, Europe offers excellent opportunities to combine sports and studies.

Some sports, such as men’s field hockey, are more popular in Europe than in the U.S., providing more opportunities for competition.

Because of smaller and less intense sports systems, European universities often have more room for free time in addition to your studies and sports.

Compared to American universities, tuition costs are often lower in Europe. In addition, you can receive a (partial) scholarship at many places.

European universities often have multiple teams per sport, so you can compete regardless of your sport level.

A great option!

Playing sports and studying in Europe can be a great option to student-athletes who:

Have no eligibility

Left to study and play sports in the NCAA.

Want to play a sport

that is not offered in the US, such as men’s field hockey.

Graduated in America

and want to continue studying in Europe, for example a master’s degree combined with sports.

Want to stay closer to home

and are looking to have a European experience.

How does the process work?

The process of studying and playing sports in Europe is similar to the process for America. Slamstox provides the same quality service, with some unique aspects.

As with our America track, we guide you step-by-step through the process, with personal attention to your athletic and academic goals.

Thanks to our partnerships with several European universities, we make sure you find the right school and coach.
