Cost of Living

Many students choose to study in Australia because of its quality education, friendly people, stunning scenery, high standard of living AND its affordability. 

For about the same price as the cheapest London Underground train ticket you could buy lunch in cosmopolitan central Sydney or catch a ferry to glorious Manly Beach.  You could relax over a cool drink looking at the sails of the Sydney Opera House, or go to the World Heritage Blue Mountains.  Sydney can cater to every budget. 

The average international student in Australia spends $250 to $350 per week on:

  • accommodation
  • food 
  • clothing 
  • entertainment 
  • transport 
  • international and domestic travel 
  • telephone 
  • incidental costs.
