3 Countries Where You Can Study For Free In 2018. by dayo229: 9:54am On Feb 10, 2018
There is no doubt that there are countries in
some part of the world that do not charge tuition
fee from both local and international students
coming for studies. In these countries students
do not have to worry about paying tuition fee as
education is supported by the government.
Students coming for studies in these countries
have to set aside some amount of fund (varies
for each countries) for their living expenses,
traveling cost, and insurance. That said, let's go
ahead to the list of three countries where tuition
is free in 2018.

1. Germany
Germany is a federal parliamentary republic in
Central Western Europe. With about 82 million
people, Germany is the most populous member
state of the European Union. After the United
States, it is the second most popular immigration
destination in the world. Germany's capital and
largest metropolis is Berlin, while its largest
conurbation is the Ruhr, with its main centres of
Dortmund and Essen. The country's other major
cities are Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt,
Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Leipzig, Bremen, Dresden,
Hannover and Nuremberg. Germany has a social
market economy with a highly skilled labour
force, a large capital stock, a low level of
corruption, and a high level of innovation. It is the
world's third largest exporter of goods, and has
the largest national economy in Europe. Germany
also has the lowest youth unemployment rate of
all EU member states. According to the OECD
Germany has one of the highest labour
productivity levels in the world.
Responsibility for educational supervision in
Germany is primarily organised within the
individual federal states. Most of the German
universities are public institutions, and students
traditionally study without fee payment. The
general requirement for university is the Abitur.
However, there are a number of exceptions,
depending on the state, the college and the
course. Tuition free academic education is open
to international students and is increasingly
common. According to an OECD report in 2014,
Germany is the world's third leading destination
for international study. Germany has a long
tradition of higher education. The established
universities in Germany include some of the
oldest in the world, with Heidelberg University
(established in 1386) being the oldest. It is
followed by the Leipzig University (1409), the
Rostock University (1419) and the Greifswald
University (1456). Other universities in Germany
includes University of Berlin, Humboldt University
Berlin, the University of Bremen, the University of
Cologne, TU Dresden, the University of Tübingen,
RWTH Aachen, FU Berlin, the University of
