Australia generally has higher tuition fees and living costs than Germany.
- Australia: Tuition fees for international master's students typically range from AUD 20,000 - 50,000/year, depending on the program. Living expenses are estimated at AUD 24,505/year (about AUD 1,400 - 2,500/month). Additional costs include Overseas Student Health Cover (AUD 600 - 1,000/year) and a visa fee (about AUD 710).

- Germany: Most public universities charge no tuition for master's programs, only a semester contribution of €150 - 350/semester. Some exceptions exist, such as certain states charging non-EU students about €1,500/semester or private universities with fees of €5,000 - 20,000/year. Living costs are around €850 - 1,200/month, and you must show proof of about €992/month for visa purposes. These figures are subject to change.
Germany is typically more affordable, especially at public universities, but both countries offer quality education and opportunities for part-time work.
