They have variations of the program in some European countries. It's been a long time for me, but in the UK they used to just whitelist university domains (we didn't use .edu TLDs either).

We use .ac.uk though (and much of the non-USA world uses .ac.ccTLD similarly) so no need to whitelist individual university domains. I don't know about Apple, but that's a common approach. (And does irritate some where they don't use either and get missed, Canada for example.)

Some countries place no restrictions on registering domains under their .ac second level domain though.

AFAIK, in most of the EU they validate you are a student or an academic through UNiDAYS.
