Around the world, fees vary when it comes to university and higher education. Some schools have grants and scholarships that help students of lower income be able to study at their schools; some countries offer payment for students to encourage furthered education or provide free tuition to their citizens.
In North America, the USA wins the prize for having the highest tuition fees that normally start from around $5,000 and can be up to $30,000 per a year. Further north, in Canada the cheapest fee is found amongst those who choose to study in Australia, the UK, and the USA. An average domestic tuition is around $9,000 and an international fee around $25,000.
Some countries in Europe are now charging tuition. But you'll find the cost to be quite low in comparison. In Belgium you'll find the enrolment fee to be around 500 Euros and in Holland and Italy the fee ranges from 1,000- 1,500 Euros. If you're a student of a business department, for example, you could be expected to pay as much as 5,000 Euros in Holland. Dutch graduate school tuitions can be up to as much as 8,000 Euros.
In the UK, the tuition fee can only be up to £3,145 and no more, although it goes up yearly. But the average amount for a domestic student is £3,000. However under new government policies universities in England can now charge any fee they so wish for domestic students up to £9000.
Sweden probably offers one of the best deals you can find: Graduate school is free. Although the cost of living is high in this country, consider that 5 Euro beer to be worth the price when you aren't paying tuition fees.
In France you will find 82 universities and none of them charge tuition fees. Undergraduate enrolment charges are a mere €165 -€190. Because of this, they try to avoid students who are not highly motivated and only wish to obtain a visa to stay in France.
