Although the US, Canada, UK and Australia have charged fees for many years, there are still quite a few highly ranked universities which are offering free university education. The Scandinavian countries are particularly attractive destinations for undergraduate study, partly because they have a number of highly ranked institutions, but also because many of their courses are taught in English.
Check out the universities of Copenhagen, Aarhus, Uppsala, Lund and Helsinki, all of which rank in the top 100 in the world in 2011 and which offer free Undergraduate and Postgraduate education to domestic and EU citizens.
For Postgraduate study, the UK is still hard to beat with four universities in the top ten in the world – Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, UCL - all charging just $4-8000 for postgraduate courses for EU citizens.
In Germany, the highest ranked universities are; University of Heidelberg at 53rd and Technical University of Munich at 54th in the world, each charging less than $2000 for domestic and EU citizens. University of Amsterdam at 63rd, charges within the $2,000- $4,000 range whilst Catholic University of Leuven at 68th charges less than a $1000.
Best value universities for international students
For non-EU citizens looking for free university education, some of the Scandinavian universities are available free to all, but have limited places just for the best international candidates, whilst others like Copenhagen do charge for international students. By contrast Austrian Universities, like Vienna University of Technology, ranked 155th in the world, charge less than US$1000 per annum for international students willing to study in German.

Government subsidies result in all students, domestic and international, studying for free and in many cases, postgraduate students receive a monthly grant to cover basic living costs as well.
