Can you share universities in France or other European countries that offer sports nutrition or related courses within my budget for a Master's/MSc?

Yes, budget friendly options exist. France's public universities charge roughly 250 to 300 euros a year, though most are French taught. English taught alternatives include Germany's IST-Hochschule at about 5,900 euros a year and Greece's Metropolitan College at around 7,500 euros a year for sport nutrition.

Your budget does not have to rule out sports nutrition in Europe, but you do need to know which programs are taught in English versus French. Public universities in France are remarkably cheap, though most nutrition tracks there run in French. If you need English instruction, Germany and Greece give you solid, moderately priced alternatives. Here is the real cost breakdown.

Sports and Nutrition Programs by Cost

GreeceMetropolitan CollegeApplied Sport and Exercise NutritionEnglish~7,500 euros a year

Other Points to Weigh

  • Avignon University's IMPLANTEUS track waives the higher international fee for select English taught international Master's students, making it one of the cheapest English options on this list.
  • Dutch programs like Wageningen or Maastricht cover Human Movement Sciences and Nutrition and Health, but non-EU fees run considerably higher, often fifteen to twenty thousand euros a year.
  • If you can study in French, public French universities remain the cheapest route by a wide margin.

My Advice

Start with Avignon University as your top pick if you need English instruction on a tight budget, and keep Sorbonne Paris Nord as a backup if you are willing to build basic French proficiency first. Confirm your exact budget ceiling with your counsellor so we can also check whether France's waiver policy still applies for your intake.
