Schools Which countries offer affordable options for engineering grad school?

AI Thread Summary
Several countries outside of Canada and the USA are noted for their engineering graduate programs, with varying tuition costs and living expenses. Scandinavian countries offer tuition-free graduate programs, but they also have a high cost of living, which may offset the savings on tuition. The medium of instruction in these programs is often English, making them accessible to international students. The UK and Australia are also mentioned, but their tuition fees can be quite high. The Philippines is brought up as a potential option, but further details on specific schools there are not provided. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need to balance tuition costs with living expenses when considering graduate school options abroad.

what countries(aside from Canada and USA) have good schools for going to engineering grad school? I'm also looking for a country where the cost of living and tuition of schools is not that pricey. Any ideas? Thanks

This is a little like "how long is a piece of string". Pretty much all developed countries have good schools, and "not that pricey" depends on your budget.
 
If I'm not mistaken, the Scandinavian countries all have Grad programs that don't cost any tuition... However, the cost of living in those countries is through the roof, but I'm not sure how well those things balance each other out.

Is the medium of instruction english though? I forgot to include that in my question. I have checked the uk and australia but I think the tuition is a littke bit huge for me. I can probably have some money for the 1st year because of coop.but after that I don't know. How about the Philippines? Have any of you heard of schools from there?
 
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
