Eurydice publishes the annual report on National Student Fee and Support Systems in European Higher Education for 2016/17

Where in Europe can students study without paying fees, and in which countries do institutions charge the highest fees? What kind of financial support is offered to students, and who actually receives it?

When students plan for higher education, one important element to consider is how much it will cost and whether they can receive any financial support. In a Europe where people can study in other countries, reliable information on the costs of higher education is essential.

Eurydice has just released this annual report which answers these and other questions. It provides a comparative overview of fees and financial support in 42 European higher education systems, and country sheets that explain the details of how fees, grants, loans and other benefits actually work.
