| Jul 29, 2015 at 18:07 | comment | added | BCLC | Marko, does the low tuition apply to foreigners? academia.stackexchange.com/questions/49589/… | |
| Jul 29, 2015 at 17:38 | comment | added | BCLC | Wait Marko, you mean the European ones there? | |
| Jul 26, 2015 at 22:20 | comment | added | Marko Karbevski | Pretty much all French universities, each one that you will find here: shanghairanking.com/SubjectMathematics2014.html They are all state schools though. | |
| Jul 22, 2015 at 21:47 | comment | added | BCLC | @MarkoKarbevski Example of schools? That's insanely cheap. How does anyone get paid? | |
| Jul 3, 2015 at 14:40 | comment | added | Marko Karbevski | @Jack Yep, around 300 usd. To be precise, it is 200 euros a year. | |
| Jul 2, 2015 at 20:52 | comment | added | BCLC | @MarkoKarbevski To clarify, ~300 usd tuition for a year? You don't mean ~3000 usd, do you? 300 usd is 1/10 the tuition in my third world university. | |
| Apr 11, 2015 at 19:47 | comment | added | Marko Karbevski | @Jack That is one of the reasons, yes. They also want education accessible to everyone that lives there as well as equality for the foreigners, where there is space for it (especially if they are motivated). I also come from a third-world country and the price was the reason that I went to France (as well as the fact that I had B1-B2 level in French and that the maths here is top-notch). There are a ton of master programmes in English too. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 11:39 | comment | added | BCLC | @MarkoKarbevski Oh yeah. I heard about that. Is it true that it's cheap because they want to attract more non-European students or something? A friend of mine said he was planning to take a master's in Austria, and the tuition was about the same as a where I took my bachelor's and master's (in a third world country) :O | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 11:34 | comment | added | Marko Karbevski | @Jack You are most welcome. Also don't forget that in many European countries, the education is really cheap (~300 USD for an entire year), so it is almost as if all you have to pay for are the living expenses. Good luck! | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 0:38 | comment | added | Marko Karbevski | @Jack Yes, exactly. | |
| Apr 9, 2015 at 16:45 | comment | added | BCLC | @MarkoKarbevski Yeah thanks but I did not understand the explanation you gave Tobias. Rereading, I think I may have gotten. Did you mean I should consider applying for "Master 2" which means completing a second master's in only 1 year instead of PhD directly and if not plausible (based on Master 1 exams) then just take a second master's? | |
| Apr 5, 2015 at 16:30 | comment | added | Marko Karbevski | @Jack Please read the explanation that I gave to Tobias regarding the Master 1 and Master 2. I said "only Master 2" because if you feel ready, most European universities will let you start directly from the second year of the master studies. And when I said "go for Master 1" what I meant was for you to start at Master 1 and then do Master 2 hence completing your MSc studies. I hope this helps. | |
| Apr 2, 2015 at 13:18 | comment | added | BCLC | I don't get it. What's a master 1 and master 2? How can someone take only a master 1 if they refer to year levels in a master's degree? | |

| Mar 28, 2015 at 12:28 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | Yes, I am familiar with the European system (as much as there is a uniform one). Those terms, however, are not ones I have come across before, so I doubt if they are standard. | |
| Mar 28, 2015 at 10:01 | comment | added | Marko Karbevski | @TobiasKildetoft The Master studies in most of Europe take 2 years to complete (the higher education consists of 3 years bachelors + 2 years masters (master 1 + master 2) + 3 years PhD for those who want to get to the last level). So Master 1 is the first and Master 2 is the second year. One can apply for an entry directly into Master 2 if he/she feels ready for it. | |
