If you want to study abroad and don't have the money to attend an American or Canadian university, you can explore some study destinations in Europe.
Tuition fees in most of these European countries are much lower than what their counterparts in the West charge. However, it is vital to remember that tuition fees vary greatly based on the program and the country.
For example, a humanities degree in Sweden costs much less than an MBA at a top business school in France.
In addition, doctoral and postdoctoral training courses are also generally funded, particularly in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) domain.
There is no denying that the opportunities available in the US and Canada far outweigh those in these European countries. Nevertheless, some of these universities in these European countries are quite impressive and are definitely worth exploring.
These are the countries students can explore:
I. Poland: This Eastern European nation has more than 10,000 international students, 30 percent of whom come from India. Poland's top cities are Warsaw, Kraków, Poznań, Łódź and Wrocław.
Some well-known universities in Poland are the University of Warsaw, the University of Wroclaw and the University of Rzeszów.
