Portugal

Country: Portugal

At public universities, bachelor's tuition is capped at €697 a year (2025/26), and you can pay it in at least seven monthly instalments. International (non-EU) students pay fees set by each university – €1,500–18,000 a year at ULisboa in 2026/27 – but EU citizens don't have that status. Find out how housing works in Lisbon and Porto and which casual jobs are easiest to find.
