For your master's studies abroad, you should plan your tuition fee budget based on the country and program you choose. Here's a general range for popular destinations:

- Ireland: €10,000 to €30,000 per year, depending on the university and course.
- Australia: AUD 22,000 to AUD 50,000 per year, varying by program and university.
- Canada: CAD 15,000 to CAD 65,000 per year, depending on the program and institution.

These are approximate annual tuition fees for international students. Specialized programs like MBAs or engineering may be on the higher side within these ranges. Your exact budget will depend on the specific university and course you select.
