2018-2019 is the 7th time MIT topped the QS World University Rankings (QS World). This is one of five universities in the United States applying the "Need-blind admission" system for both domestic and foreign students.

This means the school is willing to support the full cost of learning if you convince them to enroll you.

According to information provided by MIT, the university awards more than $ 70 million in scholarships each year and up to 90% of undergraduate students receive financial aid. The average scholarship per MIT student is $ 42,081 / year and the amount each student receives is based on financial need calculations.

2. Stanford University (USA)

Tuition is 50,703 USD with undergraduate students at home and abroad in all study programs. Summer tuition (if selected) is 16,329 USD.

Stanford University applies "Need-blind admission" only to US students. International students should request financial aid consideration at the time of application so that they are not ineligible for grants throughout the course of study.

3. Harvard University (USA)

Tuition is US $ 46,340 for domestic and international undergraduate students in all degree programs.

Like MIT, Harvard University also applies "Need-blind admission" to both domestic and international students.

5. University of Oxford (United Kingdom)

Tuition for UK and EU students is £ 9,250 (about US $ 12,000).

Tuition for international students is much higher: about $ 42,100 for students studying Computer Science and Engineering (4-year program); about 31,850 USD with Politics or History.

6. University of Cambridge (UK)

Tuition fees for UK and EU students are similar to Oxford University - £ 9,250.

For international students, tuition of Computer Science and Management is about 41,040 USD; Math is about 30,080 USD and History is about 27,000 USD.

Although financial support for international students studying at top UK universities is limited and highly competitive, students can still receive support through a number of national funds and scholarships. It is provided through the British Government, international organizations and sometimes from the government in the student's home country.

7. Swiss Federal Technology Jobs - ETH Zurich (Switzerland)

University and university tuition for Swiss and international students is only around US $ 1,315, including mandatory tuition and semester fee.

Tuition for international students in Computer Science and Engineering is about US $ 34,670, Politics and History is about US $ 25,900.
