Is It Expensive To Study Overseas

With 25 years of experience, we have advised parents and students on studying locally and overseas depending on their needs.

Below is a guide to the expenses and part-time work opportunities in each country.

1. Average Tuition Fees (as of October 2018)

CountryAnnual Tuition Fee range

USAUS$7,000 – US$50,000
SingaporeS$10,000 – S$25,000
MalaysiaRM 10,000 – RM 30,000

2. Living Expenses

 Living expenses will be different for each student depending on your daily habits and occasional indulgences. In particular, the city you are living in. For example, let us compare multiple cities in Australia. Melbourne’s public transport costs around $7-9 per day while Brisbane’s public transport costs $4-6 per day depending on annual pass/student discounts and so on so forth.

For your convenience, we have featured how much the living expenses may be in each city. This includes the cost of meals, accommodation, transportation and utilities.

Simply choose your desired course in our Course Comparison Tool and explore how much it will cost to live in your dream city/country.
