The 15 most highly educated places in Europe
The EU's data agency looked at what percentage of the population in each region, county, and municipality in Europe obtained a "tertiary education" - have a degree or higher education equivalent - for the ages 25-64.
And the results were mixed.
No regions in France placed within the top 15 but Britain boasted a large collection of regions where over half the population received a degree or equivalent, making them part of the most highly educated regions in Europe.
The data is quite detailed, drilling down to specific regions. We've followed the Eurostat grouping of regions in the data, with original language names appearing in brackets where applicable.
Eurostat uses NUTS (Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics) which is "a hierarchical system for dividing up the economic territory of the EU for the purpose of socio-economic analyses of the regions." For this part of the data, Eurostat looked at NUTS 2 regions, which fall under the category of "basic regions for the application of regional policies."
Here's the map to show the detail:
