Based on your focus on affordable education and strong job opportunities, consider these countries in addition to Germany:

- France: Public universities typically charge €3,000 - €4,200/year. Living costs are about €800 - €1,200/month. International graduates can apply for a two-year post-study work permit.
- Netherlands: Tuition ranges from €8,000 - €20,000/year. Living costs are around €800 - €1,200/month. The Orientation Year Visa allows graduates to stay for up to one year to seek work.
- Poland: Tuition is generally €2,000 - €4,000/year. Living costs are lower, about €500 - €700/month. Students can work part-time during studies.
- Canada: Tuition is about CAD 15,000 - 25,000/year. Living costs are CAD 800 - 1,500/month. The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) lets graduates work up to three years.

These options balance quality education, reasonable expenses, and post-study work opportunities.
