Study abroad consultants for ten destinations

Start from four things: your budget for the year, the language of instruction, whether the degree is recognised where you plan to work, and your chances with the grades you have. The spread is wide: from €160 a year at Italian public universities to €24,000 for medicine in Cyprus. We compare your shortlist on these points and tell you where your chances are strongest. All destinations sit in one table on the Study abroad page.

The most affordable English-taught start is North Cyprus and Türkiye: a bachelor's at the public university in the TRNC costs $4,450–6,400 a year, and Turkish public universities start at around $500 a year. In Italy public tuition depends on family income and can start at €160 a year, but you need Italian or a strong profile for an English-taught programme. Count living costs too: Dubai runs from AED 5,500 a month, Tbilisi around GEL 1,730.

It depends on the destination. Degrees from EU universities — Poland, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Cyprus — are widely recognised. In the UAE, branch campuses award the degree of the UK or Australian home university. North Cyprus, however, is recognised only by Türkiye: the degree is not recognised in Europe directly, and the one working route is a YÖK-listed programme with legalisation through Turkish authorities. We say this before the first payment, not after graduation.

Yes! Many Polish universities offer grants and scholarships for international students. Additionally, you can apply for financial aid programs such as Erasmus+ and NAWA.

Most universities also offer scholarships or tuition discounts for the most talented and active students. Find out more about available scholarship programs.

Most Polish universities require a minimum GPA of 60% (equivalent to 3.0 on a 5.0 scale) to apply. However, competition is higher in public universities, especially for popular programs, so the minimum GPA needed to qualify for admission is usually 75–80% or higher.

For admission to top public universities (such as the University of Warsaw, Jagiellonian University, or Warsaw University of Technology), a GPA of 85–90% is required, especially for competitive fields like medicine, law, and IT.

If your GPA is below these thresholds, don’t worry – many private universities in Poland accept students with a 60% GPA, especially for humanities and business programs.
