US$4,691 for a BSc in Nursing programme: The cheapest countries and universities for aspiring nurses

护理学学士课程学费为 4,691 美元：有志成为护士的学生最便宜的国家和大学

Finding the cheapest country to pursue your BSc in Nursing can be difficult.

找到攻读护理学学士学位最便宜的国家可能很困难。

In Australia, Monash University’s Bachelor of Nursing is a three-year programme totalling around US$78,653 (128,700 Australian dollars) for those beginning in 2025. In the UK, expect to pay up to US$156,054 (120,960 pounds) for a four-year programme at the University of Glasgow.

在澳大利亚，莫纳什大学的护理学学士课程为期三年，总费用约为78,653美元（128,700澳元），适用于2025年入学的学生。在英国，在格拉斯哥大学攻读为期四年的课程，预计学费高达156,054美元（120,960英镑）。

This means that aspiring nurses from India, Nigeria, and the Philippines would each need to fork out 10.3 million Indian rupees, 187 million Nigerian nairas, and 6.9 million Philippine pesos, respectively, for a UK nursing degree.

这意味着来自印度、尼日利亚和菲律宾的有志成为护士的人，分别需要支付1030万印度卢比、1.87亿尼日利亚奈拉和690万菲律宾比索，以获得英国的护理学位。

For many international students, these figures make up the entire retirement savings of their parents — if there is even one.

对于许多国际学生来说，这些数字几乎就是他们父母的全部退休储蓄——如果父母甚至有储蓄的话。

Although finding an affordable medical school is rare, it is not impossible. Certain countries are home to cheap medical schools for international students, with no compromise on quality.

虽然找到一所负担得起的医学院很少见，但并非不可能。一些国家为国际学生提供廉价医学院，同时不牺牲教育质量。

The cheapest countries to study a BSc in Nursing, from least to most affordable

攻读护理学学士学位最便宜的国家，从最不经济到最实惠

1. UK

1.英国

We know starting with the UK and its exorbitant prices might make you doubt our list, but we know some international students are determined to study here. That said, there definitely are universities that offer BSc in Nursing programmes that won’t cost your whole life savings.

我们知道从英国及其高昂的学费开始可能会让你对我们的名单产生怀疑，但我们也知道有些国际学生决心在这里学习。话虽如此，确实有一些大学提供的护理学学士课程不会花光你所有的积蓄。

Consider the University of Wolverhampton, Glasgow Caledonian University, and Middlesex University London, where a typical three-year programme will cost you a total of around 47,985 pounds (US$61,785).

考虑伍尔弗汉普顿大学、格拉斯哥卡里多尼安大学和伦敦米德尔塞克斯大学，一个典型的三年制课程总费用大约为47,985英镑（61,785美元）。

If staying and working in the UK after graduation is part of your plan, we’ve got good news for you. The nursing programmes at universities like Glasgow Caledonian University will allow you to apply for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. You can also apply for various positions in the National Health Service — the UK’s state care health system.

如果毕业后留在英国工作是你计划的一部分，我们有好消息告诉你。像格拉斯哥卡利多尼亚大学这样的大学的护理课程将允许你申请注册成为护理与助产理事会的成员。你也可以申请英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）的各种职位。

2. Hungary

2.匈牙利

In recent years, Hungary’s educational institutes have been climbing up the global rankings. For example, the University of Szeged is ranked among the top 570 universities in the QS World University Rankings 2025.

近年来，匈牙利的教育机构在全球排名中不断提升。例如，塞格德大学在2025年QS世界大学排名中位列前570名大学之列。

The tuition fees to study nursing in Hungary total roughly 25,491 euros (US$28,000) for four years or eight semesters. The University of Debrecen and the University of Pécs are some medical schools that offer a BSc in Nursing with low tuition fees — with fees coming up to 23,671 euros (US$26,000) and 21,121 euros (US$23,200).

在匈牙利学习护理的学费总额约为25,491欧元（28,000美元），为期四年或八个学期。德布勒森大学和佩奇大学是一些提供低学费护理学学士课程的医学院——学费分别为23,671欧元（26,000美元）和21,121欧元（23,200美元）。

Living in Hungary is comparably more affordable than in other European countries. The Big Mac Index, a measure of comparing the purchasing power parity between countries, lists Hungary at 70 out of 78, making it a clear indication that international students won’t have to break the bank when it comes to living expenses too.

在匈牙利生活相较于其他欧洲国家来说更为经济实惠。大麦克指数（Big Mac Index）是一种比较各国购买力平价的指标，匈牙利在78个国家中排名第70，这清楚地表明国际学生在生活开支方面也不必花费过多。

3. Malaysia

3.马来西亚

A 2023 research by the Utility Bidder UK affordability index, which is based on the average cost of electricity, gas and housing benchmarked to income levels for cross-country comparisons, named Malaysia as the fourth most affordable country amongst the 29 countries surveyed.

根据英国公用事业竞标者（Utility Bidder UK）2023年的一项研究，该研究的负担能力指数基于电力、天然气和住房的平均成本，并以收入水平进行跨国比较，马来西亚被评为在调查的29个国家中第四最负担得起的国家。

With that, a four-year BSc in Nursing degree from UCSI University costs up to 104,275 Malaysian ringgit (US$23,322), while IMU University totals 74,250 ringgit (US$16,607) for a three-year programme.

据此，UCSI大学四年制护理学士学位费用最高为104,275马来西亚令吉（23,322美元），而IMU大学三年制课程总费用为74,250令吉（16,607美元）。

Luckily for international students, most Malaysians speak and understand English fluently despite the national language being Malay, so you won’t have too big of a problem adapting to life here. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy the sheer diversity the country has to offer — from culture to cuisine, sights to sounds, a four-year degree might not even be enough to experience it all.

幸运的是，对于国际学生来说，尽管马来语是国家的官方语言，但大多数马来西亚人都能流利地说和理解英语，所以你在适应这里的生活时不会遇到太大问题。此外，你还将有机会享受这个国家所提供的丰富多样性——从文化到美食，从景点到声音，四年的学位可能都不足以体验全部。

4. Poland

4.波兰

Located in the centre of Europe, Poland is often overshadowed as a study destination by its neighbours to the west. However, those seeking an affordable BSc in Nursing programme shouldn’t make the same mistake as others.

波兰位于欧洲中部，作为留学目的地，它常常被西边的邻国所掩盖。然而，那些寻求经济实惠护理学学士课程的人不应像其他人一样犯同样的错误。

A three-year programme at the Medical University of Silesia costs 71,400 Polish zloty (US$18,324), and the same programme at the Medical University of Gdańsk goes up to 76,800 zloty (US$19,710).

西里西亚医科大学的三年课程费用为71,400波兰兹罗提（18,324美元），而格但斯克医科大学的同一课程费用高达76,800兹罗提（19,710美元）。

On the Big Mac Index, Poland ranks 52 out of 78, though it is notably still one of the cheaper European countries to visit and live in. English speakers won’t have too big of a problem picking up Polish, thanks to the language’s use of the Latin alphabet. Plus, having it as a second or third language will be a bonus on your CVs, considering Poland’s developing status as a major European economy.

在巨无霸指数中，波兰在78个国家中排名第52，尽管它仍然是欧洲较便宜的旅游和生活国家之一。由于波兰语使用拉丁字母，讲英语的人学习波兰语不会有太大问题。此外，考虑到波兰作为主要欧洲经济体的发展地位，将其作为第二或第三语言将成为你简历上的加分项。

5. South Africa

5.南非

If you’ve never considered South Africa as your study abroad destination, you’ve been missing out. With five universities in the top 500 of the QS World University Rankings 2025 and with your monthly costs coming up to an estimated 11,028 South African rand (US$572), you’ll be getting your money’s worth in value.

如果你从未考虑过将南非作为你的留学目的地，那么你一直错过了好机会。南非有五所大学进入2025年QS世界大学排名前500名，你的每月费用预计为11,028南非兰特（约合572美元），你将获得物有所值的学习体验。

Take the University of Pretoria, one of the largest research universities in the country, for example. Here, the four-year Bachelor of Nursing Science programme costs 256,000 rand (US$13,281) for those from the Southern African Development Community (Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe).

以比勒陀利亚大学为例，该校是该国最大的研究型大学之一。在这里，为来自南部非洲发展共同体（安哥拉、博茨瓦纳、刚果民主共和国、莱索托、马达加斯加、马拉维、毛里求斯、莫桑比克、纳米比亚、塞舌尔、南非、斯威士兰、坦桑尼亚、赞比亚和津巴布韦）的学生提供的四年制护理学学士课程费用为256,000南非兰特（13,281美元）。

Meanwhile, other international students will pay 376,000 rand (US$19,507).

与此同时，其他国际学生将支付376,000兰特（19,507美元）。

6. Norway

6.挪威

While Norway has begun to implement tuition fees for international students, pursuing your studies here is still relatively cheap.

虽然挪威已经开始对国际学生实施学费，但在这里继续学习仍然相对便宜。

The BSc in Nursing programme at VID Specialised University costs up to 50,694 Norwegian kroner (US$4,691) for three years of studies. The catch here is that the programme is taught entirely in Norwegian, so you’ll want to factor in a year’s time and living expenses if you need to learn the language.

VID 专业大学的护理学学士课程三年学费最高为 50,694 挪威克朗（约合 4,691 美元）。需要注意的是，该课程完全用挪威语授课，如果你需要学习这门语言，还需要考虑一年的时间和生活费用。

Beyond that, it’s little wonder why international students in Norway are among the happiest in Europe. Living in one of the most progressive places in the world, with a track record of upholding human rights and cultural freedom for all its residents, can mean a lot for those who come from countries with stricter laws and regulations.

除此之外，挪威的国际学生为何是欧洲最幸福的人之一也不足为奇。生活在世界上最进步的地方之一，这里一贯维护所有居民的人权和文化自由，对于来自法律和法规更为严格国家的人来说意义重大。

7. Germany

7.德国

There’s no talking about affordable and quality education without bringing up Germany. Public universities here are generally tuition-free for all students, though you’ll be expected to pay relatively low semester fees in their place.

在谈论经济实惠且优质的教育时，不得不提德国。这里的公立大学通常对所有学生免学费，尽管你需要支付相对较低的学期费。

Note that some universities will also conduct their lessons entirely in German, so take careful note when applying as you might have to spend a year learning the language before enrolling on the official programme. This is the case for the BSc in Nursing at Evangelische Hochschule Berlin (EHB), otherwise known as the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Berlin.

请注意，一些大学的课程将完全用德语授课，因此在申请时需要仔细考虑，因为你可能需要花一年时间学习语言，然后才能注册正式课程。柏林福音大学（Evangelische Hochschule Berlin，简称EHB，也称为柏林新教应用科学大学）的护理学学士（BSc in Nursing）课程就是这种情况。

Similarly to EHB, the Bochum University of Applied Sciences also teaches its BSc in Nursing in German. One of the many bonuses of studying here is that you’ll be on a training contract, allowing you to get hands-on work in the residential areas of nursing homes, on hospital wards, and in outpatient care with the cooperation partners of the nursing degree programme.

与EHB类似，波鸿应用科学大学的护理学学士课程也使用德语授课。在这里学习的诸多好处之一是你将签订培训合同，这使你可以在护理学位课程的合作伙伴处，获得养老院居住区、医院病房和门诊护理的实际工作经验。
