There are many countries in the world where Nigerian citizens can study for free or for a very low fee. If you think that’s impossible, then allow me to prove you wrong.
Below, are a selection of Nine Countries that offer free tuition or at an affordable cost.
List Of Countries Nigerian Citizens Can Study For Free
GERMANY
The number of students interested in studying in Germany just seems to keep on growing. This is largely due to the fact that most public universities in the Country allow international students (regardless of nationality) the opportunity to study for free.
Programs available in German universities consist of major engineering courses to courses in humanities.
Nigerian students who decides to study in Germany, at undergraduate level, would be asked to pay a small nominal university fee of around US $ 160-265 to cover administration cost.
FRANCE?
France is less known for affordable higher education, but Nigerian students may be surprised to hear that they can also study in France for free or at a very low cost.
Some public universities in France may charge undergraduate students a nominal fee amounting to US $ 195 per year to cover administration cost for all courses.
But, for specialized programs such as medicine and engineering, Nigerian will be asked to pay additional charges which are considerably affordable.
