Germany is generally the better option if you want lower tuition fees and are open to learning some German for daily life. The Netherlands is preferable if you want more English-taught programs and are comfortable with higher tuition costs.

- Germany: Minimal tuition at public universities (about €300 - 500/semester), strong programs in Environmental Science and Economics, and an 18-month post-study work visa (subject to change). Some German language skills are helpful. - Netherlands: Tuition for non-EU students ranges from €8,000 - 20,000/year. Most programs are in English, and the 1-year post-study work visa (Orientation Year) is available (subject to change).

Both countries offer excellent options in your field.
