Higher education is not free in Portugal. The amount of tuition fee is published annually and of course there is a world of difference between public universities and private universities… | | |
and overall, there is no difference between state universities and private universities in Turkey. There are good ones and bad ones in both categories. | | | Higher education with no tuition? | Oct 10, 2022 |

No, but it's relatively cheap. If I understand correctly (but please correct me if I'm wrong), by law, if you're a Dutch citizen or an EU resident, the maximum annual fee at college or university is EUR 2.209 (half of that in your first year). You can get a cheap government loan that covers the tuition fees (a few years ago, it was a grant, but now it is loan).

You will obviously have normal student expenses (e.g. food, accommodation, books, transport, leisure), but you can easily get a government loan that covers that too. All tertiary students get free bus and train tickets (and as the Netherlands is a small country, it is not unusual for students to travel "long" distances each day to go to class). Depending on your or your parents' income, you can also get a government study grant, but you must obtain your degree within 10 years of starting. I do believe different rules apply when you stopped one degree and started another without finishing the first (universities are allowed to charge much, much, much higher fees if its not your first degree).

Less than USD 100. “Universitetet i Oslo er offentlig og derfor tilnærmet gratis. Det eneste du må betale, utover egne bøker og utstyr, er en liten semesteravgift som koster i underkant av 1000kr.” https://www.ung.no/oss/256456

Belgium is not entirely tuition free, but the fee is less than a thousand euros per year. | | |
No tuition even for non-EU foreigners, if the language of instruction is Czech. | | | Samuel Murray Países Bajos Local time: 23:33 Miembro 2006 inglés al afrikaans + ... No tuition, rofl | Oct 11, 2022 |

Over here, in the Netherlands, it's heavily subsidised but not free of charge. | |

But when I went to university in Scotland in the 80s, I had been working for 3 years beforehand, so I was eligible for an earnings-related grant that covered my fees and living expenses. However, Thatcherism soon put paid to that, so, for example more than 10 years after graduating, my daughter is still paying off her student "loan", the usury system introduced by our Conservative overlords.

I only paid an enrolment fee (actually my boss did). And I got my Master's degree almost without any tuition!* *I went through programme that factored in experience, so I was exempt from all but a handful of classes in which I learned zilch. Getting a diploma worth five years of higher education after just a year of very part-time study (about six hours a week I think) is a feat I am very proud of.

My daughter pays almost no tuition fees (something like EUR 150). This is in part due to Italian means-testing (which is almost as hard to complete as a degree, though) partly due to the fact that her grades are good and she isn't falling behind her exam schedule (again, an Italian thing). Otherwise she'd be paying c. EUR 1000. All told it's a very good deal. We pay a lot of taxes in Italy, but there are some benefits, apart from the privilege of living in the country. | | | Páginas sobre el tema: [1 2 3] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: Do you live in a place where higher education is available tuition-free?
