Questions students ask

Which countries have the most universities teaching social sciences?

In our data, the most institutions recorded as teaching social sciences are in the United States (2,326), Australia (341), the United Kingdom (232), Germany (161), Poland (100), France (81). 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 social sciences 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 Slovakia (about EUR 6,500), Poland (about EUR 7,000), Croatia (about EUR 8,300), Portugal (about EUR 8,400), Bulgaria (about EUR 8,500). Fees for social sciences can be above the average, so check the course page.
