Study abroad
Every country asks for a different language test at a different threshold. Choose the country first and the preparation follows — that order saves the most time.
The seven pages below set out entry requirements, reference costs and the application process for each country, together with a language roadmap that leads straight to the matching course.
Destinations
Open a country to read its entry requirements, costs and language preparation roadmap.
The largest university system in the world, with two years of general education before you declare a major. Tuition is the highest of the seven destinations, but so is the volume of institutional aid.
The same time zone as Vietnam, a large Vietnamese community and clear rules on part-time work. Living costs are high, but so are casual wages.
Lower tuition than the US or the UK at a comparable standard, plus a clear post-graduation immigration path. The trade-off is a long, hard winter across most provinces.
Three-year bachelor's and one-year master's degrees — the shortest of the seven destinations, so the total cost of a degree is lower than the annual tuition suggests.
Public universities charge almost no tuition — only a few hundred euros per semester. The trade-off is the German language requirement and a mandatory blocked account before the visa.
The lowest IELTS threshold of the seven destinations, and all eight universities are public. The small scale means smaller classes and closer contact with lecturers.
The lowest living costs of the seven destinations and moderate tuition, with university scholarships that offset fees for strong non-EU applicants.

Every figure is a REFERENCE range as of the last update. It does not account for differences between institutions or cities, and each country keeps its own currency. The figure for your own application needs a consultation.
