Yes, you can study in budget-friendly countries that allow international students to work part-time to support your living expenses.

- Germany: Low or no tuition fees at most public universities; students can work up to 20 hours/week during term.
- Poland: Tuition typically €2,000 - €4,000/year; part-time work allowed without a separate permit.
- Canada: Tuition CAD 15,000 - 25,000/year; work up to 20 hours/week during studies.
- Australia: Tuition AUD 20,000 - 30,000/year; work up to 24 hours/week during study periods.
- UK: Tuition £10,000 - 20,000/year; work up to 20 hours/week during term.

Living costs and job types vary, but Germany and Poland are especially attractive for low tuition and strong work options.
