<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>I am a Nigerian after a lot of search i stumble on this forum site.</p>
<p>Please i'll appreciate if anybody can give me true and practical information about universities in Europe and possibly other part of the (West) inclusive of Canada. i also will appreciate the cheapest universities. i am an undergraduate prospective student not a Masters student Thanks.</p>
<p>Anything in particular that you’d like to know?</p>
<p>A few general guidelines: European public universities generally teach undergraduate degrees in the native language of the country. The only exception I know are a few Dutch universities (e.g. the University of Amsterdam) that teach in English, but they charge significant fees to non-EU students. Public universities in the non-English-speaking part of Europe tend to be much cheaper than universities in English-speaking countries. For example, German and French universities normally charge foreign students less than 200 Euros per semester. British universities, in contrast, frequently charge 10,000 to 20,000 pounds.</p>
<p>Your foreign high school credential may not qualify you to study at a European public university. For example, Germany does not recognize the West African Senior School Certificate. Applicants with this credential would need to complete a pre-university foundation year in Germany or attend a university in another country for one year, before they may enroll at a German university. </p>
<p>Bachelor’s degrees in Europe are normally 3-year programs and focus entirely on your chosen specialty. (Unlike American Bachelor’s degrees, for example, which are 4-year programs and have a general education component.) Access to popular majors (like medicine) may be restricted for foreign students.</p>
