  • Universities
  • Education Cost

    International student numbers are increasing across most study-abroad destinations. As more students search for opportunities to study abroad, it is only fair that they also look for some of the most affordable countries to study.

    It is important to remember that while many universities Europe do not charge tuition fees, they can still charge smaller amounts, known as administrative fees. These fees help fund the services related to the administration and supervision of students. In Germany, for example, such fees are usually no higher than €250/semester.

    Here’s a list of cheap European countries to study where education is either free or at a minimal cost:
