Budgeting Tips

1

Compare total cost, not just tuition

Tuition is only part of the picture. Add your expected monthly living costs for a full year to compare programmes fairly.

2

Smaller cities cost less than Tirana

Durrës, Shkodër, and Vlorë are typically 20 to 30% cheaper to live in than the capital, with universities of their own.

3

Factor in the visa financial-proof requirement

Your student visa application will ask you to show proof of funds. Your adviser will confirm the exact amount for your situation.
