Countries To Study For Free - Flora Ikpen‎

The number of students applying for studies abroad is increasing by the day, with a significant impact on the global economy. A recent Studyportals research report, authored by Rahul Choudaha shows that international students generated US$300 billion to the global economy in 2016.

Research also shows that 5.1 million post-secondary students were studying abroad in 2016. Together, the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Canada, and Netherland enrolled half the number of these students.

Almost four years later, this number has increased drastically and will continue to increase

. The quest for knowledge and global opportunities will take students across borders.

Most people desire to study abroad to achieve their academic and career goals, however, financial constraints seem to stand in the way of their dream. If resources were available, almost all Nigerians will study at a university abroad. International education is the ticket to a life of possibilities.

If you desire to study abroad in 2020 or the coming years, but cannot afford huge tuition fees, I recommend you look at study destinations with free tuition like Germany, Norway, Brazil, Iceland, and Luxembourg. Most public universities in these countries do not charge tuition fees for both domestic and international students, however, international students pay a little amount (around 200 euros or slightly over) for the semester to cover for enrolment, confirmation and administration cost.

Other countries like Finland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Mexico, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Slovenia, Italy, Poland, Hungary, France, Sweden, Spain, Ukraine, and some others offer affordable tuition fees, compared with Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the United States of America and other expensive study destinations.

To join the next available intake, visit the websites of universities in these countries to know available programmes, learn about the admission requirements and application procedures. The earlier you do this, the better your chances.

You don't have the break the bank to study abroad if you're willing to pay the price.
