Introduction
Studying in Australia can be a great experience for Indian students. However, it is important to plan your study program carefully and get all the information regarding the cost of study in Australia and other expenses so that you don’t have to worry about money while studying or living in Australia.
Tuition Fees
Tuition fees vary by degree and university, with some charging up to $10,000 per year. The more courses you take, the higher your tuition fee will be.
Tuition fees can be paid in multiple ways:
- Per semester (inclusive of semester 1) or per year
Travel and Transport
To study in Australia, you’ll need to buy a flight ticket and arrange for transport from your home country. You can do this through an agent or directly with the airline — it depends on how long you intend to stay and what type of visa is required.
If possible, it’s best to book your flights at least six months in advance. This way, if there are any unexpected changes (like severe weather) that could impact travel plans, they can be dealt with quickly and easily.
Visa and OSHC
OSHC is a compulsory insurance policy that covers the student’s medical expenses in Australia, including hospitalization and repatriation. It is mandatory for all international students in Australia and can be paid by the student or their sponsor.
OSHC can be paid for by the student or their sponsor
Accommodation and Food
The cost of accommodation in Australia is relatively cheap compared to other countries. The average price for an apartment is around $250 per week, while a double room will cost you around $150-$170 per night. However, if you plan on staying in hostels or couchsurfing, then this will be much cheaper than renting an apartment.
Food can be another thing that has an impact on your budget if it’s not planned well enough or prepared properly. In general speaking though, there are plenty of options available from supermarkets and convenience stores where customers can buy ready-made meals at affordable prices (approximation: AUD$10–15). It’s also possible to cook food yourself with whatever ingredients are available at home but we recommend against this option because not only is it unsafe but also very expensive!
Social Life
Social life is an important part of the Australian experience. You will make friends from around the world and have a great time with them. They can be your study mates, or they can be people you meet through extracurricular activities like clubbing or sports.
You can also make new friends by joining groups such as Toastmasters, which helps improve your public speaking skills and allows you to network with professionals in different industries.
Books and Materials
Books and materials are the most expensive part of studying in Australia. While you can go through the process without buying any books, it will be difficult to complete your course successfully without any study material.
The cost of books depends on what subjects you want to study and how many subjects you want to learn. For example, suppose a student wants only one subject (e.g., English). In that case, he/she can get sufficient information from free online tutorials or articles that would help him/her understand the concepts better than traditional methods such as reading textbooks or listening lessons on YouTube videos which are usually provided free by universities themselves. However, if someone wants more than one subject at once then there may be some additional expenses involved such as buying entire textbook sets for each subject separately instead of just individual chapters from these books as well as paying extra money because they need special software programs which work specifically with those particular textbooks’ contents while other software packages might not work well due their incompatibility with certain electronic devices used by students during classes like laptops/mobile phones etc..
Other Costs
- Cost of Other Activities:
Did you know that you can also spend money on other things? Some students find it difficult to budget for activities while they’re studying in Australia, but there are ways to make sure your finances don’t get stretched too thin. Here are some tips on how to keep costs down when you’re studying abroad:
- Social Events: If you want to go out with friends or family members, make sure that the cost is reasonable (and consider whether or not it’s worth spending so much money). This may be something that is only available once every few months or so; otherwise, try asking around if anyone has any spare tickets lying around somewhere!
- Living Expenses: You may have heard about how expensive living in Australia is compared with other countries — but there are ways around this: living cheaply off campus instead (see below).
For your specific program, please contact your preferred institute in Australia.
Tuition fees vary by institution, course and location. For instance, an international student at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) will pay $13,000 AUD per year for undergraduate courses in Sydney, while a student at the University of Sydney pays $18,000 AUD per year.
Travel costs also vary depending on where you travel to study in Australia — some locations may have cheaper transport options than others; however, keep in mind that some areas may have higher costs due to their popularity with tourists or because they’re close to attractions such as beaches or mountains! Visas are another expense that can add up quickly if you plan on travelling outside your home country during your stay abroad. The cost varies based on which visa type you require — there are different types available depending on whether or not your spouse lives outside Australia too — but all start at about US$500-$1k+ each year (depending upon what kind of family reunion visa). OSHCs are also expensive when compared against other overseas educational opportunities due primarily because these programs’ curricula tend towards highly specialized subjects such as medicine etcetera .
Conclusion
Studying in Australia is a great option for students who want to pursue their higher education. With over 20 universities and colleges as well as vocational schools, there are many opportunities for foreign students that are unique to this country.
