1. France: Public universities are free of tuition and must have a foundation in French.
French public universities are funded by the government, and international students enjoy the same treatment as local students in France, such as housing subsidies, social insurance, public transportation, catering and other concessions. The cost here is relatively low, especially suitable for working-class families.
The teaching language of French public universities is French, and a few schools offer English teaching majors. Students who choose to study in French public universities need to have a good foundation in French.
Before studying in France, students need to complete 500 hours of French courses in China and pass the corresponding French proficiency test. After arriving in France, you need to learn French and preparatory courses before entering professional courses, and you can enter professional courses only after passing the exam.
Second, Germany: the quality of education is high and the fees are relatively low.
The quality of teaching in Germany is very high, and there are many famous schools with a long history. Although Germany is gradually abolishing free higher education, the symbolic recovery is still relatively low, and the tuition fees charged by some universities are about1-20,000 yuan per year.
In Germany, there is no limit to the working hours per week. During school, students can work 65,438+080 half-days or 90 full-days a semester. In addition, Germany, like France, has also implemented the educational system reform, with three-year undergraduate courses and two-year postgraduate courses in line with international standards.
German universities are open to the outside world, and German exams are also difficult. If you fail to pass the language proficiency test within 18 months, you must return to China, which requires students to study hard during college.
Third, Spain: public universities are free of tuition and can work legally.
70% of the universities in Spain are public universities, and China students can enjoy the same tuition-free treatment as Spanish students when they enter public universities, while the annual tuition fee for master's degree varies from 3,000 to 5,000 euros according to different schools and majors.
Since 2008, high school graduates from China have been certified by the Spanish Ministry of Education, and high school graduates from China can be exempted from the Spanish college entrance examination and directly promoted to Spanish universities.
Only students from China and EU member countries are eligible. For senior three graduates, they can enter Spanish schools as long as they provide proof of domestic college entrance examination results and proof of domestic three-year high school results.
Students have legal status to do part-time jobs during their college years, with a monthly income of 700- 1000 euros and a living expenses of about 5,000 euros a year.
Four. Italy: Participate in two "plans" for free.
Compared with other countries, the requirements for studying abroad in Italian universities are not so high. High school graduates from China can enjoy free education in Italy by using the Kelpolo Plan and Turandot Plan provided by the Italian government.
China high school graduates who choose "Kelpolo Plan" can enroll in Italian three-year undergraduate courses or two-year master's courses for free. The specific requirements are: fresh high school graduates scored above 380 points in the college entrance examination, and had a six-month language learning period after going to Italy.
"Turandot Plan" is an Italian plan for China art students, and many famous Italian art colleges participated in the plan.
Extended data:
For many working-class families who plan to send their children abroad, it is a good choice to apply for studying in a tuition-free country in Europe.
Four or five years ago, many European countries, such as Germany and France, were free to attend universities, and both domestic and international students could enjoy this treatment. Students only need to pay their own registration fees and living expenses.
Since 2007, some European countries began to cancel the tuition-free policy, such as Denmark, and began to charge full tuition fees to students from non-EU countries. Individual States in Germany have abolished the tuition-free policy; Some universities in France are autonomous and charge fees, and Sweden, Denmark and Finland have also begun to cancel the tuition-free policy for students from non-EU countries.
At present, the countries that still provide free education in Europe mainly include France, Germany, Spain and Italy. These tuition-free schools are generally public universities, and only need to pay a registration fee of about 500 euros per year, which is very suitable for students interested in small languages. However, the application of public universities in these countries is very strict, requiring not only high school scores, but also college entrance examination results as a reference.
