Can you suggest countries like Singapore or others with a minimum budget for master's studies, including tuition and living expenses under 10 lakhs INR in Germany/France?
Pursuing a master's degree with a total budget under ₹10 lakhs (including tuition and living expenses) is difficult in Singapore due to higher costs. However, several other countries offer quality master's programs within this budget:
- Germany: Public universities often have minimal or no tuition fees. Living expenses are about ₹7 - 12 lakh/year, so careful budgeting is needed.
- Poland: Tuition ranges from ₹1.8 - 3 lakh/year, with living expenses around ₹3.5 - 6 lakh/year.
- Malaysia: Tuition is about ₹1 - 3 lakh/year, and living costs are ₹3 - 5 lakh/year.
- Taiwan: Tuition costs ₹1.5 - 4 lakh/year; living expenses are ₹4 - 6 lakh/year.
- Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, France: Combined tuition and living expenses can be kept within ₹8 - 10 lakh with scholarships or strict budgeting.
These countries are strong alternatives to Singapore for master's studies within a ₹10 lakh budget. If you want to explore specific universities or scholarships, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance.
