CriterionWhy it matters
Language of instructionStudying in English, French or another language radically changes the experience and application requirements
Visa requiredEU/EEA countries don’t require a visa for European students — that simplifies paperwork
Annual budgetFrom €178 (public university in France) to €50,000 (international campus in the UAE), the range is considerable

What the tool does NOT do

  • It does not rank countries from best to worst — every destination has its strengths.
  • It does not compare universities within a country — check the country guide for that.
  • Cost ranges are indicative and change every year. Always verify on official websites.
