Average tuition fees

Tuition is set per course and per institution and is revised every year. Take the figure from the fee table on your specific course page — a national average will not match what you are quoted.

Estimated living expenses

Living costs depend far more on the city than on the country, and are often the larger half of the total. Build an estimate from current rent, transport and food figures for the specific city you are considering.

Admission requirements

A recognised qualification meeting the institution's requirements. Some programmes require specific prerequisites, portfolios or entrance examinations.

English-language requirements

English-taught programmes usually require proof of English proficiency; programmes taught in the local language require proof of that language. Confirm exact requirements officially.

Main intakes

Most institutions have a main autumn intake, with some offering a spring intake.

Application process

Applications may be made directly to institutions or through national admission platforms, depending on the country and level of study.

Scholarship options

Government, institutional and EU-linked scholarship schemes may be available. Availability changes each year — verify on official pages.

Work rights

Students may be permitted limited part-time work under national rules, which change over time.
