1. Germany
After Lower Saxony became the last German state to phase out tuition fees in 2014, all German universities are now completely free of charge for international students. A number of available English programs continues to grow year in, year out, and currently there’s more than 1,000 options to choose from. Only expenses currently are nominal university fees that are used for administration purposes. They amount between $160 and $270 depending on college and program, but they are certainly as low as they can get for such a developed country. What’s even more incentive, are stipends and loans handed out to international students by the local authorities. Monthly costs are usually lower than $1,000, and stipends can often be higher than the costs themselves. This is what clearly makes Germany the best of 11 countries with the free college for international students.
