Work it out before you apply

Planning tools, all built on the figures in our country guides. Every number there has an official source and the date we checked it, and where a government publishes no figure we say so rather than guess.

Which countries fit my budget?

Enter what you can spend on the first year, in your own currency. See where tuition, living costs and the visa fit, and where the money you must show is more than you have.

What will a year really cost?

Pick a country and see tuition, living costs, the visa fee and the money you must show, with the part you lose if the visa is refused marked.
