Cheapest European Countries for International Students.

 

 

Living in Europe is glorious. But it is also just as expensive. With the euro strengthening, many international students have to spend more to live and learn there.

Alternatives exist, thankfully. Some European countries offer low tuition fees and low living costs. Below are the four cheapest European countries that will allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds – a world-class education at a frugal cost:

 

1. Germany

Today, the main pull factor to Germany is low to zero tuition fees and affordable living expenses compared to other European cities such as London or Paris. This is because most universities in Germany are state-owned, making tuition fees affordable for both home and international students.

Though tuition fees are free, there are other minimal fees by the university that students have to bear such as application fees, enrollment, and processing fees.

 

2. Spain

Home to arguably the best football teams in the world, Spain charms international students from all around the world. Considered one of the cheapest European countries to study in, Spain offers tuition fees as low as 150 euros a year for a bachelor's and up to 3,500 euros for a master's at public universities.

The tuition fees vary according to your chosen program and university, with private universities charging a higher fee. It’s wise to check with the university regarding tuition fee costs. Similar to Germany, living costs in Spain are relatively more reasonable depending on the choice of city.

 

3. Hungary

Next on the list is Hungary. Hungarian universities do not offer free tuition fees but they do offer low tuition fees and various scholarship programs to international students. Compared to Germany and France, Hungary is still ranked among the cheapest European countries to study in.

Students only need approximately 400 to 700 euros for student accommodation and other essential utilities. On average tuition fee costs range between 2000 to 4000 euros annually, but these figures may differ depending on the institution.

Another way for students to pinch their pennies is by preparing their own meals as the cost of groceries spans lower than eating out.

 

4. Belgium

Belgium is another favorite destination among international students. Not to be underestimated for its size, Belgium universities offer students big opportunities for students who seek a good education as they explore the graffiti and avant-garde installations of Brussels and the scenic waterways of Bruges.

Though Belgium is considered one of the more expensive European countries to live in, it still fares relatively low across Europe with the national average monthly rent being 650 euros.
