Yes, the UK is generally more expensive for studying abroad compared to Germany and New Zealand. Tuition fees in the UK are higher, often ranging from £10,000 to £38,000 per year for international students, while Germany’s public universities usually charge little to no tuition, and New Zealand’s fees typically fall between NZD 22,000 and NZD 40,000 per year. Living expenses are also higher in the UK, especially in cities like London. If affordability is a priority, Germany often stands out due to its minimal tuition fees. If you need more detailed guidance for your chosen countries, your LeapScholar counsellor can help compare your options.
