Find maps on pages 14, 18 and 22 to get an idea. Q: What about tuition fees? A: Tuition fees depend on the institution and academic program of choice. In case your desired institution is located in the USA or Canada, you should consider the advantages of a college or regional university over a large institution. Colleges are usually cheaper, have smaller class sizes and more personalized approach. Institutions across Europe have similar tuition fees while most of the German institutions are free. Q: What about my language level? Do I have to take a language test? A: You don’t necessarily need TOEFL or IELTS if you want to study in the USA or Canada. Many of our partners accept SC GEOS level 5 or 6 certificate of completion. In Europe it is necessary to take language exams.
