Free Study Abroad Country Comparison Guide (2026)
One page, six countries. Tuition, living costs, visa type, post-study work rights and intake dates for USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany & Ireland — the numbers Hyderabad students actually need before shortlisting a country.
Why This Guide Exists
Every country page on our site is detailed — sometimes 3,000+ words of visa steps, scholarships and FAQs. That's great when you've already picked a country. But most students come to us before that decision, comparing 3–4 destinations side by side and getting lost switching between tabs.
This guide strips that down to exactly what matters for a first-pass comparison: what it costs per year, what visa you'll need, how long you can legally work after graduating, and when the intakes fall. It's built from the same data on our individual country pages, condensed into one printable page you can save, share with a parent, or take into a counselling session.

Annual tuition range and monthly living costs for all 6 countries, in local currency.
