Yes, there are countries where studying abroad can require a lower investment than the UAE.

- Germany: Many public universities have no tuition fees for international students; you only pay a small semester fee. Typical living expenses are €850 - €1,100/month (about €10,000 - €14,000/year), subject to change.
- Norway: No tuition fees for international students, but higher living costs of €1,100 - €1,500/month (about €13,000 - €18,000/year), subject to change.
- Poland: Tuition ranges from €2,000 - €4,000/year, with living expenses around €450/month. Total annual cost is usually €7,000 - €10,000, subject to change.
- Malaysia: Tuition is typically $2,000 - $5,000/year, and living costs about $400/month, totaling $7,000 - $10,000/year, subject to change.
- Taiwan: Tuition ranges from $1,500 - $4,500/year, with living expenses around $500/month. Annual total is $7,500 - $10,500, subject to change.

Consider language, culture, and post-study work visa (PSW) options when deciding. If you want to explore these options further, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
