Here’s a typical annual budget for international students, including tuition and living expenses:

- Australia: Total cost ranges from AUD 49,000 - 83,000/year (tuition: AUD 20,000 - 45,000; living: AUD 29,000 - 38,000). Specialized programs may cost more.
- Ireland: Tuition is €9,000 - 45,000/year for undergraduates and €10,000 - 35,000/year for postgraduates. Living costs vary by city and lifestyle but are a significant additional expense.
- New Zealand: Total cost ranges from NZD 47,000 - 65,000/year (tuition: NZD 22,000 - 40,000; living: NZD 25,000 - 30,000).
