- UK: International students typically pay £17,700 - £46,700/year in tuition fees. Some programs also add bench fees (e.g., £1,500 for lab use).
- Germany: Most public universities do not charge tuition for master's programs. Instead, expect a semester contribution of €150 - €390/semester. Living expenses and health insurance are extra.
