Best affordable fashion schools?

I’m a non-EU student looking to do a BA in fashion design in a school that has a strong name in the industry and doesn’t exceed €20k for international students. Preferably if it’s around the €10k-€15k range!

I found that big names such as IFT, CSM, RCA, IFM,,,, are too expensive for international students, often exceeding €25k, maybe even more than €30k. So far i was able to find ESMOD and La Cambre the most affordable, but i don’t want these to be my only options incase things go south.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Looking around

I've been wanting to apply to university outside my country, Zimbabwe, but most of what Ive found is pretty much out of range.

I've been looking to do computer science pretty much anywhere, preferably English speaking but anywhere else is fine. I just need affordable options, prolly below 20k USD. Anyone have any ideas? And requirements too please

Edit: I want to do anything in computer science, preferably in the creative/engineering suffer but open to others

Medecine in europe

Salam,

We all know that general medecine in Europe usually takes 6 years, however I heard that in lebanon they require, in order to work legally, 7 years at minimum.

So do I need to take an extra year to make them 7y, or it's completely acceptable with 6 and i directly continue into residency (internat)?

Note that i am gonna study medecine in france which is also 6y

Which European country is the best place to study and build a career as an artist/illustrator?

Hello everyone! I’m a non-EU student and I want to get an education in Europe in the field of illustration, fine arts, or other creative fields. Right now, I don’t know which university (or even which country!) to choose if my goal is to eventually build a career as an artist and potentially stay there after graduation.

I’m not necessarily looking for a university that specializes exclusively in classical illustration. I’m interested in illustration, graphic art, contemporary art, visual storytelling, and other forms of artistic expression. I already have several ideas for modern sculptures, installations, and other projects that I would like to develop in the future. 3D and animation do not interest me, although I'm interested in digital and graphic art. What is especially important to me is a realistic possibility for an international graduate to stay in the country, live there and build a career, rather than finish my studies and be forced to leave because of a lack of normal professional opportunities.

What is important to me: employment support after graduation, good connections with the professional art market; connections with companies; opportunities for exhibitions and real projects; internships; real opportunities to find a job after graduation. (although I understand that a university cannot guarantee your career growth 100%, but still.)

I'm currently finishing an art college with a specialization in painting. I have good academic drawing and painting skills, and I continue to develop them. At the same time, I'm studying book illustration and graphic art. I already have several private and public projects and commissions. I have also participated in exhibitions at galleries and a library in my city (I received a 2nd-degree laureate diploma in graphic art for my illustrations).

I am also completely open to learning the local language if it would really significantly improve my chances of building a career in that country. Climate and comfort are not particularly important to me — education, the art/creative market, and the possibility of staying and working after graduation are much more important to me.

Originally, I was mainly considering NABA, but recently I have seen quite a lot of criticism (the academy is not worth its very high tuition fees. As a non-EU student, I would have to pay around €22,500 per year and, apparently, even without employment support in the future 🙃) I have also heard conflicting comments about Italy and Spain. I'm not considering the US as an option.

Which European countries would you recommend for someone in my situation? And which universities or art academies genuinely have good connections with the professional world and help their graduates transition into building a career? This post will be relevant at any time! Thank you everyone for your help, I would especially appreciate personal experiences. Thank you!

honest answers: does Study abroad and return to India overpower remaining in India and climbing the ladder?

my_qualifications: BA prog in economics from off campus delhi university college, currently in 4th year starting with my eco hons journey.

I am planning my prospect after fourth year of College and I find myself in a dilemma of choosing between starting a career offering 3 to 4 LPA or taking two years more time going abroad pursuing a specialised masters(in germany, i’ve also started learning german a year back).

my ideal dream was going abroad getting the lifestyle experience and a specialised job oriented degree and returned to India after a few years of work experience and get a better package here. But after some research I have found out that the job application applications in Germany require you to have specialised to German speaking and I am not sure if that is something I would be able to learn at 20.

any thoughts? or reccs pls

EU Masters Programs in Education... and wanting to bring my dog. Any thoughts?

A bit of a multifaceted question- and starting by saying this is day one of my research into this process, so bear with me! But-

I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts / input / advice on any or all of the three things I'm looking into:

  1. International Education Masters programs in Europe. I'm fairly open to program variations and locations, and have basic comprehension in French (strongest), Italian, and Spanish (and English is my first language.)

  2. I'm thinking of exploring programs anywhere from one semester to two years long (depending on financial status.)

  3. I will want to bring my dog with me (45 lbs, well behaved, used to living in apartments and cities.) I know he'll probably be a bigger piece of the puzzle, but I'm not willing to leave him.

I feel a little lost on where to start the search (locations, programs, dog friendly cities, financial aid, etc.) so if anyone has tips on a good starting point as well, I'd appreciate it!

Is this enough for IBEB Erasmus?

Hello!!
I am applying soon and one of my choices is the IBEB(interns economics and business economics)course in Erasmus Rotterdam.(I have other choices but this one is my primary)

I am completing school with British system and I’m currently in AS year with A(Economics) B(Math) and B(Biology). I also have B2 qualification in French and IELTS qualification with 8 overall score. All my igcse grades were above 7 with most being 8s and 9s.

I have done a short internship before at a well known company and one longer one in a less known one.

Additionally I’m a prefect(which means I organize charity events for the school and other projects with the school), I did several extra curricular activities but the longest being rowing for 2 years where I got many medals (idk if that’s important for them or not).

I’ve also done many other languages and am proficient in them but I’ve got no qualifications for them. I could get the qualifications but that would be way past the deadlines such as A2 Greek A2 German and high qualification in Romanian.

For my background, I live in a country with very small population and am originally Romanian in the EU(whether this will make a difference in the admission I don’t think so since I’m an EU citizen still)

Is this enough to get in?

Please help and let me know!!! Any and all advice is appreciated. I’m open to suggestions of any other Dutch universities for this course that will accept me Eg: UvA, Maastricht, Tilburg and so on.
THANK YOU!!

Edit: I’ve researched already and I do meet the requirements, I’m just looking for opinions and advice on what I can do extra to make me stand out.

Is academia abroad actually less toxic than academia in Italy? (Italy/Bologna vs UK/Northern Europe)

I’m writing this anonymously because I’d genuinely like to hear from people who have experienced more than one academic system, rather than simply being told that I’m either romanticising foreign countries or unfairly attacking my own.
I’m an Italian humanities student, currently studying Modern Literature at the University of Bologna. I’m almost 21 and have one year left. I’ve also spent time abroad through Erasmus, and I’m seriously considering doing a Master’s abroad and potentially a PhD afterwards, possibly in Comparative Literature, Literary Studies, English Studies, or something adjacent.
The problem is that I’m increasingly unsure whether I actually want an academic career, because of the kind of environment I have experienced around academia and intellectual life in Italy.
I want to be clear that I’m not saying that every Italian academic is awful, or that every foreign university is a utopia. I know that would be ridiculous. I’m talking about a pattern I have personally perceived over several years, especially in Bologna and in some academic/intellectual environments I have encountered.
What has disturbed me most is a combination of what feels like classism, nepotism, hierarchy, personalisation of disagreement, unnecessary hostility, humiliation, status anxiety, and a strange amount of resentment. Sometimes it feels as though intellectual environments that should be based on curiosity, discussion and mutual interest instead become competitive environments where people are constantly measuring themselves against one another.
I have also experienced, on the occasions when I have made myself publicly visible through writing or social media, an amount of hostility and personalisation that I found disproportionate. I have written for newspapers and have some social-media visibility, but much of the backlash I have experienced has come from fellow Italians rather than from foreigners. That has made me wonder whether there is something cultural about the way disagreement and intellectual competition are handled here.
Again, I don’t want this to become an “Italians bad, foreigners good” post. I am Italian myself, and this is actually why it makes me sad to write this. I feel increasingly alienated from aspects of my own country’s intellectual culture: what I perceive as provincialism, populism, status-consciousness, personal conflict, and sometimes a lack of basic generosity towards younger people who are trying to learn and write.
There is also something that genuinely confuses me.
Why does intellectual culture sometimes seem to produce the opposite of what I would expect?
If someone studies literature, history, philosophy, linguistics, art, etc., I would expect them to become more curious, more sensitive to complexity, more capable of disagreement without humiliation, and perhaps more generous towards people who are still learning. Instead, I have sometimes encountered environments where people seem to become increasingly cynical, competitive, defensive and even cruel. I recently read an article in The Atlantic discussing elite academic leadership, hypocrisy and institutional culture, and it made me wonder whether what I have experienced is actually much more universal than I imagine:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/09/elite-academia-leadership-hypocrisy/687969/
So I would really like to ask people who have actually experienced different systems:
How is academia in the UK and the broader Anglophone world in reality?
Is it genuinely more collegial and civil than what I am describing, or does the same behaviour simply take different forms? Is there still extensive classism, nepotism, bullying, academic “feuds”, gatekeeping and personal competition in British universities? What about the US? And what about Northern Europe — Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, etc.? I have repeatedly heard that some of these systems can be more egalitarian, less hierarchical and more work-life-balance-oriented, but I don’t know how much of that is actually true once you enter academia.
I am particularly interested in hearing from people who have studied or worked in both Italy and another country, especially in the humanities.
I’m also wondering about something more existential. I love literature and writing. I would genuinely like to spend my life reading, thinking and writing. I could imagine doing a Master’s, a PhD and eventually becoming an academic. But I also want a life that is peaceful, intellectually stimulating and psychologically sustainable.
I don’t want to spend my twenties and thirties in a permanent state of competition, publication anxiety, departmental politics, precarious contracts, grant applications, networking and trying to prove that I deserve to exist in the room. At the same time, I don’t want to give up intellectual life simply because I don’t want to participate in that kind of environment.
Is there a way of having both? For example, could someone realistically build a life where they have a relatively stable academic/cultural/international job, write books or essays independently, and maintain enough financial and psychological stability to actually enjoy writing?
Or is serious intellectual production inevitably connected to some degree of suffering, precarity, competition and self-sacrifice?
I know the romantic image of the isolated writer who reads all day and produces great literature is probably nonsense. But I also don’t believe that constant misery is a prerequisite for producing good work.
In fact, one of the things I increasingly value is the idea that peace, time and psychological safety might actually make better writing possible.
I’m therefore trying to figure out whether I should pursue academia abroad, pursue a different kind of cultural/intellectual career, or perhaps find a stable job that gives me enough time and mental space to write independently.
I am not looking for “Italy sucks, move to London” answers. I’m genuinely asking people with experience:What is academic culture actually like in Italy, particularly Bologna? How does it compare with the UK? What about the US? Germany?
The Netherlands? Scandinavia?
Where have you found the healthiest academic environments?
Where have you found the worst?
Are there countries or university systems where intellectual disagreement tends to remain impersonal and constructive?
Can someone realistically have an academic career without having their entire identity and mental health consumed by it?
And if academia is not the answer, what kinds of intellectually serious careers allow you to write and think while still having a reasonably peaceful life?
I may simply have encountered some particularly bad environments, and I’m genuinely open to being told that my perception is distorted. I would much rather hear uncomfortable but nuanced answers than have people simply confirm what I already believe.
I’m almost 21, I still have one year of university left, and I’m trying to figure out whether there is actually an intellectually serious, international and humane life somewhere out there or whether I am simply romanticising the idea of leaving Italy.
Any experiences, especially from people who have lived/studied/worked in more than one country, would be enormously appreciated.

Turiba International communication degree - is it worth it?

If you know anything about this program, please let me know. I can't study in Latvian—only in English—and I really liked this degree program. I haven't found anything quite like it at any other university that offers programs in English…

Syrian student i Russia, can I go out?

Hi guys! I’m a Syrian student who got a place through the Russian government scholarship, and I’m going to Russia this year to start a Bachelor’s in Computer Science (including the preparatory year).

Because of my financial and personal circumstances, I basically have to go to Russia for now, but I absolutely do not want to settle there long-term. My plan is to keep applying for opportunities abroad while I’m studying there.

So my question is: can I apply for Bachelor’s programs/scholarships in other countries while I’m physically studying in Russia? I’m talking about Europe (especially Romania/Germany), Canada, the US, China, etc.

I’m completely fine with starting my Bachelor’s from Year 1 again — I’m not trying to transfer my credits. I’m mainly worried that being a Syrian citizen already studying in Russia might make me ineligible for certain scholarships or create visa/admission problems that I wouldn’t have if I were still in Syria.

Also, is there anything that would actually prevent me from leaving Russia later if I get accepted somewhere else?

I’ve been trying to find real examples of Syrians or other international students who started university in Russia and later moved to another country, but I haven’t found many.

Has anyone here done something similar, or knows someone who has? I’d really appreciate any personal experiences or advice on the best pathways. Thanks!

What is your experience of studying at Innsbruck university?

hey! I’m thinking about applying to the University of Innsbruck for Translation Studies( if i’m not mistaken) - Mehrsprachige Kommunikation. i’d really love to hear from people who currently study there or have studied there, especially international/non-EU students.

how do u actually like it there? I’m mainly curious about the application process. was it relatively straightforward? were there any unexpected difficulties or things u wish you had known before applying?

i’m also a little concerned about the language requirement. i’m currently studying translating/linguistics at my university in russia, and my current programme is quite similar to the “Mehrsprachige Kommunikation” german is my main language of study and my current level is around A2. how realistic would it be to apply with this background? what level of German did u have when you applied/started, and have i any chance that some of my completed courses could be recognized?

and what is the attitude towards international students? do u generally feel welcomed and treated the same as austrian/EU students? Is it easy to communicate with professors,administration and students if you’re an international student?

i’d also REALLY appreciate hearing from anyone studying Mehrsprachige Kommunikation specifically, but general experiences with the university are welcome too!!!!🤗

Which country is best for grad school + program recommendations

I’m an international student and I have a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from the US. I want to pursue a masters degree and I was admitted to a program in my alma mater, but I’m having serious second thoughts given everything happening in the US and given that my specific program was affected and now has very limited courses offered.

I want to get your opinions on graduate programs in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, Asia and honestly I’m open to going anywhere that offers good education and opportunities. I want to specifically compare different countries in terms of hands-on project based classes, which one favors exam based classes, research opportunities, engagement and involvement with stakeholders and the community, work opportunities for international students after graduation (I don’t plan to get sponsorship or live there forever, just work there for a couple of years), and salary after graduation.

I’m interested in programs that combine environmental engineering, human/community centered design, and public health/ medical related research. I also prefer project based courses instead of exam-heavy courses. I would also like to work while doing my masters if that’s possible.

Also, if any specific program comes to mind that you think I should look into please let me know!

Thank you all!

Stay in the US for STEM/healthcare or study medicine in Europe? (H-4)

Hey everyone! I’m currently a high school student in the U.S. on an H-4 dependent visa, and I’m trying to figure out what path makes the most sense for me long-term.

I’m really interested in medicine/healthcare and STEM, but being on H-4 makes planning a career in the U.S. a little complicated. I could potentially go the F-1 route for college and eventually try to build a career in the U.S., but I’m worried about how much my future would depend on visas, OPT, H-1B, sponsorship, etc.

The other option I’m seriously considering is studying medicine in Europe, particularly an affordable English-taught medical program in places like Italy, Poland, Hungary, etc. Ideally, I’d want a degree that gives me the flexibility to work in different European countries later and potentially move to a country with better physician salaries/working conditions.

For anyone who has been in a similar situation, what would you choose? Is studying medicine in Europe actually a smarter option for someone in my immigration situation, or am I overestimating the visa difficulties of building a career in the U.S.?

I’d especially love to hear from international students, doctors, or anyone who has had to make a similar decision. I’m looking for honest advice about long-term career prospects, immigration, cost, residency opportunities, and quality of life — not just which option sounds better on paper.

Thanks!!
