Best deals on international schools?

Out of curiosity today I did some searching around through international DL programs and found some very interesting ones. However, not being very adept at monetary conversion or at times being able to find tuition rates online, I wondered if anyone knew of the best deals in international schools? Preferably graduate, post-graduate, degrees and certificates, or PhD programs. Not looking for anything specific, just poking around.

 

One of our august former Senior Members, Jack Tracey, used to highly recommend South African degree programs as very inexpensive options ... I believe he said that one could get a doctorate for the equivalent of about $2000. Anyhoo, here is a currency calculator for you:

Thanks for the calculator!

Are there any specific South African schools to look at?

 

What particular field are you looking for?

 

A search for old posts on South African schools turns up this.

Si, Senor.

 

Actually, we should refer to the former Senior Members thusly:

One male former Senior Member: Senior Member Emeritus
One female former Senior Member: Senior Member Emerita
More than one former Senior Member, including at least one male: Senior Members Emeriti
More than one female former Senior Member: Senior Members Emeritae

 

Some of the degree programs at University of Southern Queensland are good buys:

Enjoy.

 

Sort of true: actually it is now about $2k per year tuition for most of the SA universities I have looked at. There is a foreign student fee (whatever it is called) now so the tuition went up.

Still a great deal, about 1/3 of most US or Aussie programs from what I have found. Has to do with the relative value of the USD vs. SA Rand and all that. I expect my PhD to take about 2 years, but even if it takes 3 that is only $6k so not bad.

 

Linkoping University's MA in Adult Ed. and Global Change is free. I wonder if it's available to Americans though; they partner with U. of British Columbia that provides basically the same degree as M. Ed. for some reasonable price, but certainly not free.

Many University of London's undergraduate offerings seem like an excellent deal. I wonder why they are not discussed more.
