It depends on the country and university type.

- Germany (Public Universities): Upfront payment is usually minimal - just a semester fee of €100 - €400/semester (about ₹9,000 - ₹36,000) and a blocked account with €11,904 (about ₹10.7 lakh) for living expenses (required for visa).
- Germany (Private Universities): Tuition can be €5,000 - €20,000/year (about ₹4.5 - ₹18 lakh), plus the blocked account amount.
- Ireland: Tuition fees for non-EU students range from €10,000 - €25,000/year (about ₹9 - ₹22.5 lakh), with some universities also requiring a student services fee of €2,000 - €3,000/year (about ₹1.8 - ₹2.7 lakh).

Visa fees, health insurance, and living expenses are additional and subject to change.
