Affordable and cost effective education - Value for money

Australia enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world but the comparative cost of studying in Australia is far cheaper as compared to most other major First World English speaking countries and is often the deciding factor for students.

The internationally respected Economic Intelligence Unit ranks Australia 12th out of 31 doing business internationally. This low-cost business environment flows through to the cost of living and costs of providing education and training services. As a result, Australia has built a world-wide reputation for excellence based on its high quality systems of education and training delivered at comparably lower costs.

Australia offers lower tuition fees than many comparable programmes in the US and UK. Also most Australian under-graduate and PhD degrees are of three-years unlike four years degrees in the USA. Students in US pay an extra year of tuition fees.

The cost of living in Australia also enjoys an edge over other countries. Average expenses for students living in Australia are estimated to cost about AUD 12,000 per annum. It is however important to remember that this will vary according to location and lifestyle.
