On every measure, Britain is an expensive place to study. Tuition fees(学费) in the UK have now reached £ 9,250 a year and students also face some of the highest living costs in the world. Fortunately there are a number of countries where universities offer degree programmes entirely in English, along with the chance to learn the local language while you live there. Here are three of the options broken down in detail.

University of Amsterdam

The Dutch capital is not a cheap city to live in, but standard tuition fees of £ 1,800 a year make it significantly cheaper than a British degree at £ 37,400 for three years all in. There are 14 bachelor’s degrees on offer that are taught in English, including Political Science, Economics & Business Economics and Actuarial Science. Nearly all Dutch people speak English, making it an easy country to get by in.

Tianjin University

Moving to China is not for the faint-hearted. Undergraduate degree courses at Tianjin last four years,

but the total cost, at £ 28,800, is still around half the cost of a three-year degree in Britain. Living costs are only around £ 400 a month and tuition fees are £ 2,300 a year. Flights will cost £ 3,600 over the four years. Tianjin is one of the world’s latest cities and is only a half-hour train ride from Beijing. Three undergraduate programmes are offered in English：Chemical Engineering, Environment & Energy and Pharmaceutical Science.

University of Milan

The University of Milan’s fees range from £ 140 to £3,650 a year. The one bachelor’s degree offered entirely in English--Political Sciences--is a three-year course. While living costs in Milan are high, the significantly lower fees make it a cheaper option than a British university.

1.What may be the annual living cost in Tianjin University?

A.£ 400. B.£ 2300.

C.£3600. D.£ 4800.

2.Where can you major in Political Science?

A.London and Tianjin. B.Amsterdam and London.

C.Amsterdam and Milan. D.Tianjin and Milan.

3.What is the purpose of the text?

A.To encourage people to study abroad. B.To introduce some affordable universities.

C.To advertise some degree programs. D.To compare tuition fees and living cost
