National Student Fee and Support Systems in European Higher Education
This tool presents comparative data on student fees and financial support in the European education systems. It covers public and government-dependent higher education institutions.
Data is provided by the 39 member countries of the Eurydice network and is collected in accordance with the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) for three education cycles: short-cycle tertiary education, first cycle (bachelor) and second cycle (master or equivalent). It is based on official documents issued and/or recognised by top-level authorities.
