Where Can You Get Free International Study? Some of you may think that gaining a recognised degree certification, in your own country and overseas, is simply unattainable with having a three- or four or five-figure budget at our fingertips, or without securing a scholarship, despite the fact that university costs are rising around the globe.
I’m happy to tell you that this isn’t always the case. Students can study abroad at no cost or even for a very little cost in many different places throughout the world. Just be aware of where to look.
You may find a list of nations that provide reduced or zero tuition below, along with information on how to apply and what present (low) university expenses you can anticipate.
Germany offers free education
Germany’s study abroad programme continues to get more and more attention. This is primarily because most public institutions in Germany do not charge undergraduate tuition; regardless of country, this is true for both German students and foreign students. To offset administrative costs, only a minimal university fee of around €150–250 (US$170-280) is levied.
The exception is Baden-Württemberg, a state in southwest Germany, which reinstated tuition charges for students from outside the EU and EEA in the fall of 2017. These learners must pay $1,660 USD every semester or $3,320 USD annually. The possibility of studying in Germany is quite alluring both for students and parents worldwide due to Germany’s affordable tuition fees, robust economy, and superior higher education system.
Even if you are able to locate an institution that would let you study for free in Germany, you will still need to set aside money for living expenses. If you want a German student visa, you must demonstrate that you have around €10,236 (roughly US$11,330) in annual living expenditures (the typical student spends €850 (almost US$940) per month).
Study for nothing in France (or at low cost)
The fact that overseas students may study in France for free (or at a very low cost), irrespective of their country, may surprise them given that France is not as well recognised as Germany for offering economical higher education.
Although there are officially tuition fees at public institutions in France, they are far lower than those in most other countries and only cost €170 (about US$190) per year for undergraduate study for students from the EU, EEA, and Switzerland.
Non-EU/EEA students will start paying higher rates this academic year, with annual tuition increasing to US$3,065) for a bachelor’s degree. However, from 7,000 to 21,000 scholarships will now be offered to overseas students by the French government.
The cost of your education may increase with additional fees, especially for more specialised degrees like engineering and medical, but not much. However, you can anticipate that costs would vary greatly if you want to attend a prestigious grande école.
The majority of programmes giving the opportunity to study in France for free are delivered in the local tongue, as is the situation in Germany. But there are more and more chances to study in English, especially at the graduate level. As an alternative, you might enrol in a prep school to hone your French before starting your degree, but this will cost money.
Nordic nations provide free education.
Northern European countries (also known as the Nordic countries) are renowned for their high standard of living, breathtaking scenery, and liberal political systems. They also have some of the greatest higher education in the world. Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden all have options for free or inexpensive study:
Regardless their study level or nationality, all students in Norway have access to free university education.
Students from outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland must pay tuition for bachelor’s and master’s programmes in Denmark, Sweden, and most recently Finland since these nations only provide their free education benefits to citizens of those nations and Switzerland. However, PhD programmes in these nations are completely supported, giving excellent PhD students the opportunity to earn a salary in addition to their degree without having to pay any tuition. In Finland, students from outside the EU/EEA are still eligible for free tuition if they want to major in Swedish or Finnish.
Austria
Austria is a different nation where learners can educate in Europe for free or at a very low cost. Students from the EU/EEA have same privileges as Austrians regarding the expense of higher education and are eligible for the free tuition at all degree levels. After that, students just have to pay €363 for the semester. Foreign students from outside the EU/EEA should anticipate somewhat higher semester tuition of about €726 (about US$803). All students will spend about €11,400 ($12,600) a year on living expenses. The capital of Austria, Vienna, came in at number thirteen on the QS Top Student Cities 2019 list.
