Why Australia.
Australia delivers world-ranking universities, generous post-study work rights, and a lifestyle that's hard to beat. The Group of Eight research universities rank among the global best, the Temporary Graduate visa lets you stay and work for 2–4 years, and a points-based system rewards Australian study on the path to permanent residency.

What it really
costs.
Australia's high wages help offset its costs, and regional study adds work-rights and PR bonuses. Use this as a planning guide.
* PhDs are frequently funded; regional universities are cheaper and add migration points.
Cost of living
Sydney and Melbourne are dearest; Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth are gentler and count as regional or near-regional for extra work rights. High part-time wages (AUD 24+/hour) make day-to-day costs very manageable.
