In Brazil, public universities offer software engineering and other degrees completely tuition-free for both domestic and international students, but getting in is highly competitive and most courses are taught in Portuguese. 

Private universities and online programs do charge tuition, and while some budget options exist—especially for distance learning or technical schools, where monthly fees can be as low as about $XX USD—most private programs cost more, typically ranging from about $XXX to $XXX USD per month for engineering, with some specialized programs being higher.

So, it’s totally possible to study software engineering for free at a public university or for a relatively low monthly fee at some private or online institutions, just as you mentioned!
