What does it cost to study in Australia? Tuition, living costs, OSHC and student visa fees explained in plain terms, with no out-of-date figures. Talk to BYD Education & Immigration Consultants in Brisbane.
The cost of studying in Australia is made up of four main things: tuition fees for your course, living costs while you’re here, overseas student health cover (OSHC), and the student visa application charge. Tuition is the biggest, and it varies widely by the level of study and the provider, so a vocational course, an undergraduate degree and a postgraduate degree can differ a lot. On top of tuition you budget for living costs like rent, food and transport, compulsory OSHC for the length of your stay, and one-off costs like the visa charge, English test, and flights. You also need to show the government you have enough funds to cover tuition and living before your visa is granted. Because tuition, living costs and government charges all change, we won’t print figures that could be wrong when you read this, but this article explains exactly what makes up the total so you can plan properly.
This guide is general information to help you get your bearings. Migration and citizenship rules — and especially fees and processing times — change often, so the smartest next step is a quick, honest read on your own situation.
