Countries where you can study abroad for free

While the cost of studying abroad continues to rise in many countries around the world, the following countries offer free tuition for international students, or you only have to pay a small amount of tuition, according to Top Universities.

Virtue

Public universities in Germany do not charge tuition fees, this applies to both domestic and international students, regardless of nationality. Some universities only charge a small fee of around 160-270 USD to cover administrative costs.

Germany’s free or very low tuition fees, combined with its growing economy and strong education system, make it increasingly attractive to students from around the world. In a recent HSBC report on “The Value of Education,” Germany ranked third, behind the US and the UK.

France

France may not be known as an “affordable” education, but international students can study here for free, or at very low cost. Especially for postgraduate research programs, or technology-related professions, international students studying at public universities pay only about 250 USD in administrative fees.

However, most of the study programs in France are usually taught in the native language. Therefore, if your goal is to study in France, you should invest in learning French as soon as possible.

Nordic countries

Not only are they known for their high quality of life and stunning natural beauty, the Nordic countries of Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark also have some of the strongest higher education systems in the world. While Finland and Norway offer free education to all students, regardless of nationality, Sweden and Denmark do charge fees, but they are quite low depending on the level of study, ranging from $6,000 to $17,000 for the entire program.

Undergraduate programs are often taught in both English and the native language. Postgraduate programs at the master's and doctoral levels are more commonly taught in English. However, you should still learn the native language to integrate into the life, people and culture of these countries.

Another great destination for those who want to study in Europe is Austria. International students can study for free for up to two semesters, regardless of their level. After that, EU students pay a fee of around $390 for each subsequent semester, while non-EU students pay a slightly higher fee of around $790.

Belgium

The cost of higher education in Belgium varies between the two official regions. In the Flemish region, where Dutch is the main language, tuition fees for students are around $660 per year. In the French-speaking region, the cost is $900 per year for Belgian students and international students from Europe. For international students from other countries, tuition fees range from $2,000 to $4,170 per year.

Spain

Students in EU countries enjoy the same educational rights as Spanish students, with tuition fees ranging from free to very low, just a few hundred US dollars. Other international students will have to pay between 740 and 1,500 USD for a year of study at public universities.

Argentina

If you want to switch to studying abroad in South America, you should consider Argentina. This country allows all local students to study for free at universities. Although international students are not completely free, they only have to pay a very small, insignificant fee when studying at public universities. In case you want to study at private universities in Argentina, the tuition fee is about 5,000 USD/year.
