But what will it cost?
Studying abroad can be very expensive. It is because of this that you need to be well informed about the terms on which you will be studying abroad. In most cases, it is important to know whether:
- You pay a fee to the institution you will be studying at?
- What are the travel costs to the location and during your stay?
- Is housing provided for by the university or are you required to find your own place to stay?
- Do you need a visum for your stay?
- Do you need additional insurance for the work you'll be doing?
To ensure that students can go abroad more easily, there are various grands and scholarships available. Depending on the duration and reason of your stay, you might be able to apply. Here are several suggestions to get you started:
