Tuition fees vary by country and institution. Some universities in Europe charge significantly less than U.S. or U.K. institutions, while others are comparable. Families should also consider living expenses, which differ from city to city. It’s important to review official university websites for current tuition and cost-of-living information.
Common requirements include transcripts, standardized test scores, proof of English proficiency (such as TOEFL or IELTS), recommendation letters, and a personal statement. Students are also responsible for arranging their own visa through the relevant country’s embassy or state department after receiving a university offer.
Families begin by scheduling a free consultation. From there, McMillan Education International creates a tailored admissions plan that covers every stage, from academic profiling to final enrollment. This structured process ensures students are fully prepared to study in Europe at the university that best fits their aspirations.
