New Masa Scholarship for M.A. in Archaeology in Israel

The University of Haifa International School is excited to announce that applicants for our one-year Master’s program in Archaeology (specialising in Prehistoric Archaeology) are now eligible for the Masa scholarship!

Situated atop the Carmel Mountain, Haifa University provides students with an invaluable opportunity to pursue graduate studies within Israel’s historic landscape.

The Mount Carmel area, which is both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a biosphere reserve, reveals a nearly 500,000 year-long sequence of human evolution exposed in caves, rock shelters and open-air sites along mountain valleys and the nearby coastal plain. Unlike any other region in the world, Mount Carmel’s key sites preserve evidence of both modern human and Neanderthal populations, within 100 meters from each other.

The Master’s degree in Archaeology focuses on the prehistory and paleoenvironment of the Mount Carmel region, with course topics also ranging from environmental archaeology; archaeological theory and method; and archaeology of the Southern Levant. Students can choose to specialize in one of many relevant topics, such as: lithic, faunal, geological and palynological studies.

Tuition Fees at Universities in Europe in 2018 - Overview and Comparison

Looking for a top-class university with accessible study fees in Europe? The European university system is mostly based on public funding, that is why European universities can provide excellent quality for very low or even no tuition fees at all!

In total, Europe offers over 30,000 international study programmes that you can apply to. International students in Europe enjoy great living standards, cities full of culture, and an intense social life.



Differences between EU and non-EU students in higher education
In general, EU students should have the same rights when they move to another EU country.

EU citizens are automatically entitled to study in other EU member states: they should not be paying higher tuition fees and they should be able to receive a residence permit (in order to obtain financial support as any other national student). Usually, the same works for EEA and Swiss students too, although some conditions regarding public student loans and residence permits might differ for them.

For non-EU students, this works differently.

European higher educational institutions welcome non-EU students in Europe: although they are required to pay for tuition fees, they can apply for scholarships or funding almost everywhere. Europe has a total of over 16 billion EUR worth of scholarships available every year, so you should have a look at Scholarshipportal.com, to find the one that matches your requirements best.

Country fee focus. Would you prefer the charming districts of Paris or do you care more about the sound academic environment of Oxford? Whether you are looking for a Bachelor's, a Master's, or a Ph.D., on Studyportals you can choose your destination country and search for a maximum tuition fee.

Below, you will find information on study fees for international university students in different European countries.

Average tuition fees in Europe
Tuition fees in Europe are generally very low compared to other continents, while many European universities are placed at the top of international university rankings.

Of course, this differs per country, and it also depends on if you come from Europe (the European Economic Area) or not.

Average tuition fees for Bachelor's degrees in Europe are:

4.500 EUR/year for EU/EEA-students;
8.600 EUR/year for students outside EU/EEA.
Average tuition fees for Master's degrees in Europe:

5.100 EUR/year for EU/EEA-students;
10.170 EUR/year for students outside EU/EEA.
What many students don’t realise is that they could study for less than 1.000 EUR/year, in affordable living costs and tuition or even for free in many European countries.
