International rankings often list Belgian universities among the best higher education institutions in Europe. The most popular areas of study are Social Sciences (e.g. Economics, International Relations, Political Science), the Humanities, Journalism, and Medicine.
In Belgium, tuition rates vary based on your nationality, the region where you study, the type of university, the chosen academic programme, and so on. One thing to keep in mind is that the tuition policy is fair and the universities offer scholarships and grants. On average, internationals can expect to pay anywhere between 800 and 9,000 EUR per academic year. As a broad rule, fees are lower for EU/EEA students.
