Lower University Tuition Fees in Europe for Non-EU Students
Posted date: 11 Jan 2022
You begin making calculations about how much it will cost you as soon as you decide you want to study abroad. The cost of tuition is one of the first things you look into while looking for a degree. On university websites, programme expenses are typically provided in two categories. Tuition fees differ between EU/EEA and non-EU/EEA students. The fundamental difference between EEA and non-EEA nations is that educational institutions in EU countries adhere to the same educational standards and provide equivalent student rights. As a result, institutions maintain the same tuition prices for their own national students as well as any citizen of a country in the European Union or the European Economic Area. This rule does not apply to students who do not reside in the EEA and must pay higher tuition rates. Here are a few options for non-EU students who want to avoid paying excessive tuition fees in Europe:
Look for programmes that are tuition-free: Tuition costs should not discourage you from enrolling in a study programme in Europe. A variety of free programmes are available at some European colleges. Tuition fees are not charged to international students worldwide (including EU and non-EU students) at public institutions in Germany and Nordic countries, including Norway (non-EU country), for a considerable number of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.
Countries in the EU with low living costs and education fees: Even if you do not have access to free education, universities in many European nations charge cheap tuition prices, and living expenses in countries such as Italy, Spain, Lithuania, and Hungary are fairly reasonable.
Apply for university funding and government scholarships: You can also apply for a tuition-free study programme and check for relevant funding sources. You must carefully examine funding/scholarship information on institution websites. For more information, please contact the programme director or the foreign student office directly. Some universities include a scholarship area in their application form, which simplifies the application process.
Typically, institutions award scholarships based on academic excellence, but in rare situations, unique scholarships are awarded to students with a specific level of education. Swiss universities, for example, offer greater grants to PhD candidates. Other university scholarships pay for tuition, a portion of living expenses, and health insurance. In addition to academic finance, you may want to apply for a scholarship given by the government of your destination country. A government scholarship may provide some extra money to spend throughout your studies in addition to covering your tuition charge.
