9. Austria
Austria openly invites students from all across the globe by offering free education for a year (2 semesters). After that, EU students can continue free of charge, while other internationals are required to pay $790 per semester for tuition and additional $20 for the student union. If you’re not willing to finish your studies in Austria (non-degree seeking student), your tuition fees will plummet to $390 per semester. Furthermore, the Austrian government has decided to offer free education to students coming from world’s 50 least developed countries which basically have the same status as the EU nationals. Costs of living are similar to those in Luxembourg, and $1,000 more or less seems like a fitting figure.
