Tuition fees at public universities in Europe vary widely by country, program, and your nationality.

- Germany: Most public universities charge no tuition for EU/EEA students. Non-EU students may pay up to €1,500/semester in some states.
- France: Around €180 - €250/year for EU/EEA students; about €2,900 - €3,900/year for non-EU students.
- Austria: About €363/semester for EU/EEA students; €726/semester for non-EU students.
- Italy: Typically €500 - €4,000/year, often based on family income.
- Spain: €800 - €1,200/year for EU students; higher for non-EU students.
- Netherlands: ~€2,700/year for EU students; €10,000 - €25,000/year for non-EU students.

These figures are typical but subject to change by country and university.
