Is it possible to study and work abroad on a limited budget without taking a large loan in UK/Latvia?
Yes, it is possible to study and work abroad on a limited budget without taking a large loan, especially in countries like the UK and Latvia.
- UK: Scholarships such as Chevening and GREAT can significantly reduce costs. Many universities also offer merit-based scholarships. International students can work up to 20 hours/week during term time, helping with living expenses, but part-time work may not cover all costs.
- Latvia: Tuition fees are generally lower, and state scholarships are available for eligible students. Part-time work is allowed, which can help manage daily expenses, but scholarships may not fully cover all costs.
Careful planning, applying for scholarships early, and budgeting are essential to minimize loan dependence.
