If you fail to qualify for international Scholarships offered by Universities, you can consider enrolling in Universities offering free tuition or minimal tuition fees.
Although not as many as before, a number of countries still offer free tuition for international students. Check out the compiled information on such countries and provided links to universities that may be participating in tuition-free schemes.
Finland:
Students in both Universities and Ploytechnics have to pay for their books and other materials, plus their accommondation and living expenses. The cost of living in Finland is about the same as in other EU contries. The total monthly living expenses of a single student average around EU 700.
We recommend that you always check the tuition fee policy for each Master's Programmes database.

In the case of undergraduate studies, such as degree (or Bachelor) courses, a many universiies this is still today. Students pay only a small enrollment or confirmation fee. Education policy in Germany is increasingly seeking to change this.
There might be special regurations for international students. This is why it is important to get detailed information at the universities in question on whether tuition fees will be charged. Information will generally be provided by the enrollment offices or international student offices. Detailed information on tuition fees for internation studens can be found a this page.

Sweden:

Acknowledging how non-EU/EEA sudents have added value to the Swedish educational system and recognize them as an attractive talent base, the Government will introduce two new scholarship programs in succeeding years.
