Many/most are in Norwegian, some are in English. That depends on the programme. More and more master's programmes are in English these days and some people are frustrated. It really depends on what you want to study though, so any general information isn't going to tell you much.

The universities are free in Finland and in Scandinavia (Iceland I'm not sure about). Of course accommodation, course materials (e.g. books) and general living costs need to be paid for but the education is free.
There is a requirement to be able to speak the language of the country usually, particularly if you're an undergraduate because most of the undergraduate programmes are at least partly in the language of the country. Masters are often taught in English so if you just want to go and study that, you'll only need to be able to speak English. However, this does depend on the course and the university you look at. Most unis offer special language courses (from complete beginner to more advanced) at reasonable prices to international students studying or having a place at the university or one of its link universities and to students who are intending to do an exchange at the university. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's free in Scandinavia but the living expenses are much larger than in other parts of Europe. I think Germany is a better alternative, there are some very good universities in Germany and the tuition fees are only symbolic. Of course, you must know German. There are probably some postgraduate courses in English but the majority of bachelor degrees are in German.

The technical university of Munich has a very good reputation and it is cheap (only 500€ per semester). The city of Munich though is very very expensive, you will hardly find a rent for an appartment or even a room under 300€ per month (or you join a fraternity), then everything else in Munich is expensive.
The RWTH Aachen is one of the best technological universities in Germany, and Aachen is cheap to live in, too. Regards, Ilhan PS: Of course you would have to know German for most programs. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

German universities:
1. Tuition fees: http://www.studis-online.de/StudInfo/Gebuehren/tuition_fees. php 2. Generally, cost of living is less in eastern Germany but it depends on the actual city. For example.. Saxony: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochschulen_in_Sachsen http://pack-dein-studium.de/english.php Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hochschulen_in_Mecklenburg-Vorp ommern An article I found that's about the minor percentage of foreigners in universities in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Germany: 8.8% Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: 5.5% Bremen: 15.7% http://www.mecklenburg-vorpommern.eu/cms2/Landesportal_prod/ Landesportal/content/de/Bildung_und_Forschung/Universitaeten _und_Hochschulen/index.jsp?showid=234253&type=News 3. Ranking: http://www.daad.de/deutschland/hochschulen/hochschulranking/ 06543.en.html or http://ranking.zeit.de/che10/CHE_en Austria would be another option. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The cost of living in Berlin is quite decent (for Germany), though I haven't looked into the tuition fees of its universities.

I am from Berlin, and as far as I know there are no tuition fees in Berlin. And the cost of living in Berlin is extremely low in Berlin compared to other western German cities. Eastern Germany is very attractive and cheap, too, though there is a little problem with racism (heard about the murdered Egyptian woman?)

Universities in Belgium easy to get accepted to and very cheap.
For my Dutch-language university for example: http://www.kuleuven.be/registration/fees/fees.html International Scholar €269,9, no fee for re-registration It's even possible to get reduced price accommodation, though you'll probably have to show bank account statements of how poor you are and agree to study the language. There are Dutch-language and French-language university, most courses will be in the original language, but some will be in English. There are more Master's courses in English than Bachelor's. 1 person has voted this message useful |
