Luxembourg lay just behind Russia, where students look at an average of £4,450 in yearly expenses, and Norway, where £2,188 is generally required for study. Denmark was found in fourth place at £5,862. Luxembourg's neighbour Belgium, whose top university was ranked 35th out of the THE top 200, claimed 7th place with annual tuition and living expenses setting its students back £6,728 each year.
