Why study in Luxembourg?

Luxembourg is a small country with a significant international presence, which can help students looking for programs with a multilingual and multicultural environment. Its universities often emphasize connections to the finance and European administrative sectors. The country's small size means students may experience more concentrated campus life and should consider how this fits their preferences.

What is the cost of study in Luxembourg?

Public university tuition fees are relatively low; for example, the University of Luxembourg charges tuition fees around EUR 400 per semester for bachelor’s programs. However, living costs in Luxembourg City are high compared to many European cities, mainly due to housing. Students should budget accordingly for accommodation and daily expenses, which often exceed tuition costs.

What are the requirements to study in Luxembourg?

Qualifications

Students usually need a secondary education diploma equivalent to Luxembourg’s Certificat de fin d’études secondaires or a recognized university degree for postgraduate studies. Some official validation or equivalency confirmation might be needed for diplomas from outside Europe to gain admission.

English language tests

English language testing is required mainly for programs taught in English, which is less common compared to French or German instruction. Where English is the language of study, tests like TOEFL or IELTS are often accepted, but requirements differ by faculty and program. For courses in French or German, proficiency in these languages is more relevant than English testing.

Luxembourg student visa

Non-EU students need a student visa and residence permit to study in Luxembourg. The process may involve providing proof of enrollment, sufficient funds, and health insurance. Because the process can vary, students should check the latest guidance from their university and the relevant consulate or immigration authority before applying.
