When it comes to education, Australia is the most expensive
destination for international students, a global HSBC report has
found.
Surveying more than 4,500 parents in 15 countries, the
research found an Australian education is more expensive than
in the US and the UK.
The total cost of international study in Australia, including fee
and cost of living, is estimated at $US42,000 a year compare
to $US36,000 in America.

Here’s the chart.

But it’s not just cost that Australia topped out on. The report
also found there is problem with perceptions around the qualit
of education with a quarter of those surveyed ranking Australi
within the top three nations for education.
“The cost of education in Australia is also disproportionately
higher than the perceived quality of the education on offer,”
HSBC said.
Australia, while it remains popular with Asian parents, is ratin
lower in China which has been where the majority of the
country’s international students have come from in the past
decade.
The table below shows Chinese respondents ranked Australia 5t
when it came to perceived education quality.
“China’s growing middle class means that it will continue to
represent a significant part of the international student market,
globally. Attracting Chinese student intake will be a key factor
in maintaining education’s role as a key export sector for
Australia,” said Graham Heunis, HSBC head of retail banking
and wealth management.
Australia’s universities have the highest concentration of
international students in the world, making up about 20% of
the student population compared to the global average of 7%.
Proximity to Asia and high quality of life have been two of t
reasons Australia has punched above its weight when it comes
to attracting international students.
HSBC says the reputation of Australia’s tertiary education
system is important for the economic viability of the industry
which has become heavily reliant on international students.

Olucheye: Australia & the United Kingdom I personally feel are too exorbitant for international students and at the same time, fall short at providing Quality of education worth the charges.

Stop talking shi*t, you obviously got no idea of what you're talking about.

Btw what standards are these, humour me.

Discouraging.

MissBritney: Discouraging.

Olucheye:

What the hell are you spewing?
Pay £15k for a Postgraduate degree and they send you packing the same month you're done..
Or pay AUD$23k for a Postgraduate course where you could get same less in better ranked institution in the US and better job offers almost after?

Please cancel out your twisted ideas based on it's tourism potentials, those two countries are just damn expensive with lesser potentials.

Truth be told most Nigrians dnt go to these countries for d sake of studying per say,,dy js need dat study visa to gain entry into that country regardless of the fees..although Australian sch fees is xpensive.u dnt pay it once,,it is stretched frm semester to semester..of wch if u re hard working u could pay ur schfees..nd of today Australia nd Canada has more opporturnities more than Us & Uk.
U jst can't eat ur cake n av it !

And what correlation has any of these with quality of education? Do you even know what quality of education means?

First, no one sends you packing the same month your postgraduate studies ends in the UK, you will be given reasonable time to cross your Ts & dot your Is.

As for your second argument, those prices are an average (take into account the US has many times more universities as Australia or the UK) this doesn't meant there aren't far more expensive universities in the US.

Now I challenge to show me a AUS$23k Australian university & a higher ranked price equivalent in the US (bear in mind Australian dollar is slightly lower than the US dollar)

@the first bolded: of course!! Because you will be the only postgraduate degree holder lol another proof you've got little idea of what you're talking about. FYI Lots of factors determine your employment prospects, jobs are not waiting for your immediately after your studies.

@the last bolded; I could agree with you on this.

my country Nigeria 9ja no dey dea?

Am not surprise Nigeria is not on that list, cause we're talking about real Education, not the scam we've here..

I dont believe dis list....
No arab country....
where is U.A.E, and saudi arabia??
