If you want to study abroad and have too little money to study at a US or Canadian university, you can explore a number of study destinations in the parts of Europe.
The tuition fee in most of these European countries is far less than what their counterparts charge in the West. However, it is vital to remember that the tuition ranges widely on the basis of programme and the country.
For instance, a course in humanities in Sweden would cost far less than what an MBA would at a top B-school in France.
Additionally, doctoral and post-doctoral courses are usually funded, particularly in the STEM (science, technology engineering, mathematics) domain.
There is no denying the fact that the opportunities which exist in the US and Canada outpace those in these European countries by a wide margin. Despite this, some of these universities in these European nations are quite impressive and they are certainly worth exploring.
