Even though all of the Nordic countries are reasonably inexpensive study locations, we chose Norway because, except for a few specialized programs, public universities in Norway remain free to all students from inside and outside of Europe.

Germany, nicknamed “the land of ideas,” is getting more popular among foreign students, and it’s easy to understand why: it has prestigious colleges, affordable expenses, and a decent standard of living. All public universities, except for those in Baden-Württemberg, do not collect tuition fees at the undergraduate or PhD levels.
Domestic and international students pay the same college fees in France, which are set at €170 (US$200) annually for bachelor’s (licence) programs, €243 (US$285) for most master’s programs, and €380 (US$445) for doctoral programs. The very selective grandes écoles and grands établissements, which determine their rates, charge far more.
Mexico is among Latin America’s most-visited countries, with diverse cultures to discover. It also has a lot to give foreign students.

Returning to Asia for the next country on our list of the cheapest places to study worldwide, India is an excellent choice for those seeking both cost and cultural variety.

Argentina, which is the second-largest country in the continent of South America after Brazil, has spectacular stunning scenery and a wide landscape, making it excellent for students interested in recreational adventure and discovery. Argentina too is recognized for its fun-loving culture and strong national identity and is regarded as one of the safest nations in the area.
Poland is another excellent option for those looking to study abroad on a spending plan since it provides a high-quality education as well as a wealth of culture and history to discover. If you can communicate in Polish, complete the same admission examinations as Polish students, and do your course in Polish, you can study for free.
Malaysia is unquestionably among the most affordable destinations for international students, specifically concerning living expenses. Its capital, Kuala Lumpur, ranked #1 in terms of affordability in the QS Best Student Cities 2016, and most students will only require approximately MYR 14,400 (US$3,550) annually to live a decent life in Malaysia.
South Africa, which closes our list of some of the best destinations to study abroad on a budget, is famed for its beautiful nature, cultural variety, and stormy past. It is an excellent option for adventurous students, fairly inexpensive, with minimal living and education expenditures.
