In summary, above are the cheapest study abroad destinations
for international students. Contact the school you want to enrol in directly
for more details.
It should be known that the cost of studying abroad also depends
on the lifestyle and spending habit of a student.
The reality is that the countries mention above are very cheap and some are even free but the cost of living is so high that you might not be able to enjoy the benefit of the tuition free studies.
Let me use studying in Germany as a case study. Germany offers free education to all International students studying for a masters degree.
The minimum cost of accommodation in Germany for students per month is about $500
The cost of feeding per month depends on the individual as people spend differently on food, but just know that at least $200 is needed to eat well in a country like Germany.
When you then add the cost of processing a German visa and the cost of flight to Germany, you will have to be budgeting close to $3000.
From what I just explained, you have seen that it is not really cheap to study abroad even if you attend a tuition free university.
So don't let anybody lie to you that you can study for a masters degree abroad at a very cheap rate.
Some European countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria are cheap because the universities in these countries provide hostel accommodation for international students at very cheap rates like $100 per year.
So once you pay for your accommodation, you won't pay for accommodation again that year.
In conclusion, studying for a masters degree abroad is not cheap except you to go to third world countries like Congo, Niger, Mozambique etc.
To study abroad in any European country, just know that you will have to spend money.
We recommend Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Cyprus and Georgia if you want a country to study for a masters degree at the lowest rate as possible.
