Europe: education in Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany and other countries

European countries have traditionally remained the most popular destination for Ukrainian students. In particular, most applicants consider admission to universities in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic, because these countries offer both paid and free education and therefore open up wide opportunities compared to other countries.

Poland

It is possible for foreign students to study for free in Poland, but it is quite difficult. In particular, the right to free education in Poland is granted to Ukrainians who have received the Pole's Card or have official confirmation of Polish origin and speak Polish at a high level. Those who do not have such documents can participate in a fairly serious competition among foreigners applying for budget places.

If you did not manage to immediately enroll in free education, there is an opportunity to start studying on a paid basis with subsequent transfer to the budget. The prices of education in Poland remain one of the most affordable in Europe, even for English-language programs - on average from 1000 to 3000 euros per year.

One of the most advantageous offers is provided by the Jagiellonian University in Krakow - one of the oldest universities in Europe, where the annual cost of tuition starts from 900 euros. Those who choose technical specialties should pay attention to the Lodz University of Technology with a tuition fee of 1300-1500 euros per year.

The cost of private universities in Poland is often not inferior to public ones, and sometimes even lower. For example, the Katowice School of Economics - from 680 to 1000 euros per year, Collegium Civitas - about 1100 euros per year and the Krakow Academy named after A. F. Modrzewski - from 500 euros per year.

The study can be conducted in Polish or English.

Additional costs: health insurance, accommodation (400-600 euros per month), costs for document processing.

Czech Republic

The prices of education in the Czech Republic for Ukrainians depend on the language of study:

- Free - in Czech-language programs at state universities. There is currently no semester fee here, but a prerequisite is passing entrance exams, which begin with a language test. Without successfully passing the test, it is impossible to continue the admission campaign.

- English-language programs - from 1500 to 5000 euros per year. The most expensive programs traditionally fall on the most prestigious specialties with a high level of competition. However, a pleasant advantage is the flexible admission conditions, even applicants who do not speak Czech can apply.

Additionally, it is worth considering the costs of language courses (up to 5,000 euros per year of training).

Germany

The prices of education in Germany remain attractive: education at public universities is usually free (only a semester fee is paid - 250-400 euros), but programs in English can cost 1,500-5,000 euros per year. Additionally, to obtain a visa, you need to have a confirmed amount of money for living (about 11,000 euros per year) on your account.

Scandinavian countries

The level of education in the Scandinavian countries has consistently remained one of the highest in the world. The countries of Northern Europe invest significantly more in education than the European average, which ensures extremely high-quality training for students. However, due to a certain geographical isolation, local universities are less popular among foreigners than institutions in English-speaking countries.

This feature has its advantages: the competition for admission is lower, and the quality of education remains at the highest level. In Scandinavia, it is possible to choose English-language programs or study local languages ​​​​for free - Swedish, Norwegian or Danish.

In 2025, tuition fees for Ukrainians in Norway will be paid: from 7,000 to 15,000 euros per year. In Sweden and Finland, the cost of tuition is from 8,000 to 18,000 euros per year.

Other European countries

The cost of studying at universities in Austria is on average 800 euros per year, in Greece - about 1000 euros per year, but may vary depending on the institution and the chosen program. Education in Iceland is free at public universities, but student fees are required - 200 euros per year, Portugal - 1500 euros per year, undergraduate studies in France - 500 euros per year, master's studies - about 900 euros per year.

Education for Ukrainians abroad in Europe is a chance to get an international-level diploma for reasonable money.

Great Britain and Ireland

In Great Britain, the average cost of studying in 2025 is 12,000-20,000 pounds sterling per year. In Ireland, prices are slightly lower, from 10,000 to 18,000 euros. Also, many foreign students choose to study in Scotland in order to save money, because studying here costs 6,000-7,000 pounds per year, the cost of living is much lower than in England. At the same time, the level of education remains the same.

Of course, education in the UK has significant advantages, including an English-speaking environment, prestige, a wide selection of programs and employment prospects, both in the United Kingdom itself and in most other countries of the world.

However, the admission procedure also has its difficulties, a high level of English proficiency is required (IELTS Academic 6.5-7.5), and competition for places, especially in popular specialties, is very high.

When choosing to study abroad in 2025 in Britain or Ireland, it is worth preparing documents and financial guarantees in advance.

USA and Canada

The USA has traditionally remained one of the most attractive destinations for educational emigration due to innovations in biotechnology, IT, medical and technical sciences. Also in high demand among Ukrainian applicants are specialties in management, finance and law, as American business administration is considered one of the best in the world.

However, the main obstacle is the cost of education. The prices for education in the USA are the highest among all directions of admission abroad in 2025: on average, training costs about $ 25,000 per year. Prestigious universities set even higher prices:

- Yale University - $ 50,000 per year;

- Stanford - $ 45,000 per year;

- Harvard - $ 35,000 per year.

However, it is worth noting that the cost of education significantly depends not only on the institution, but also on the chosen specialty.

If you are planning to enter one of the budget educational institutions in the USA ($ 10,000–15,000 per year), you should be extremely careful, as private institutions may have expired licenses or offer programs without proper accreditation.

Contact experienced lawyers who will be able to check the legitimacy of the educational institution, the presence of a valid license and accreditation of programs. Such a check will help to avoid unpleasant surprises and guarantee a safe start to your studies in the USA.

To save on education in the USA, you can first study for two years at a local college (the cost of studying there is about $ 15,000 per year), and then transfer to a university through a transfer - immediately to the third year.

The prices for education in Canada are lower - on average from 15,000 to 35,000 Canadian dollars per year.

Many universities offer scholarship programs for international students, but the competition is very high.

The peculiarity of obtaining higher education in North America is a strong academic base, opportunities for internships, and prospects for emigration through education.

What else should those who plan to study abroad pay attention to?

When planning your admission, it is important to consider not only the cost of studying abroad, but also additional costs:

1. Visa application: consular fee (from 100 to 500 euros, depending on the country).

2. Health insurance: mandatory almost everywhere, price - from 100 euros per year.

3. Living expenses: rent, food, transportation - from 500 to 1500 euros per month.

4. Translation and apostillation of documents: depends on the number of documents and intermediaries (from 100 euros).

Incorrect documentation can lead to a visa refusal or loss of a place at an educational institution.

1. During apostillation of documents or when their nostrification is required.
