Questions students ask

Which countries have the most universities teaching languages and literature?

In our data, the most institutions recorded as teaching languages and literature are in the United States (1,471), Australia (445), the United Kingdom (113), Poland (66), France (56), Spain (41). The counts come from official course data where a country publishes it, so countries without such data are under-counted.

Where is it cheapest to study languages and literature abroad?

Among the countries where we hold both course data and official cost figures, a first year (public tuition for international students, living costs and the visa fee) starts lowest in Poland (about EUR 7,000), Portugal (about EUR 8,400), Italy (about EUR 8,800), Spain (about EUR 10,000), South Korea (about EUR 10,200). Fees for languages and literature can be above the average, so check the course page.
