Which country would you recommend for continuing studies? Norway, UK, Canada, Australia, or Ireland?

G'day,

I used to be an international student from South East Asia in Australia. I will try to help you abit...

Australia is most likely have the lowest cost of living, and probably the lowest tuition fee as well (based on conversion rate). On top of tuition fees, you will need to pay for campus fee (vary from each uni) and Overseas Student Health Cover (abt AUD$350/yr) and text books (abt AUD$200). These are the rough estimate of the fees for your study.

Before coming to Australia, you will need to pay the fee for student visa processing and health check-up. You may also be required to take an IELTS test for indication of your English proficiency (depending which country you come from) for application to uni and for visa.

Living cost... Sydney and Canberra have the highest living cost, followed by Melbourne & Brisbane, then Perth, Darwin, Adelaide & Tasmania the lowest. I am attaching a weblink from one of the uni in Melbourne as an indication.

To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to the online database below. You need to make sure what course you want to study. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification.

There are only 43 universities in Australia and they are tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.

I'm living in Melbourne and this is what you're going to find in Melbourne:
1. First of all... some people do not like the weather in Melbourne (you can have 4 seasons in one day). However, if you read the second weblink from The Age newspaper, you will find out that the weather is still more preferable than the other cities. Sure you can have 42C day in summer, but almost immediately you'll get a much cooler weather pretty soon afterwards. It is very rarely that you got 2 or 3 consecutive days of hot weathers (unlike Sydney, Brisbane or Perth).
2. Melbourne is a city of diversity. If you are a newcomer, and you do not look 'Anglo-Saxon', you do not feel like an 'alien', since you can find almost every race in the world walking in the city. They are both immigrants and overseas students.
3. THE FOOD!! Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Thai, All-you-can-eat, African, Lebanese, Mexican, Sea Food... anything else? All available and lots of them in a very-very-very affordable price
4. Pretty good public transport system. With one ticket, you can switch from train, tram and bus. They do not always come on-time, but still reliable and improving (www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au). Good for students, since not all can afford car.
5. SHOPPING!!! Original branded clothing sold very cheap. There are even shopping tour, where the participants are taken to retails outlets just for shopping. Big temptations for ladies.
6. Night Life... hmmmm... I'll say the centre of nite activities will be Crown Casino and Docklands. Altho there are still plenty of cafe's and clubs scattered around the suburbs as well.
7. Tourist attraction. This is the area that I think Sydney is better than Melbourne, since it has most of it's attraction within its suburbs. Most Melbourne attraction are pretty much out of Melbourne, such as the gold mines in the cities of Bendigo and Ballarat, The Great Ocean Road, Lakes Entrance, Grampians, skiing in Mt. Buller etc.

Hope this helps. Good luck on your studies :)

I want to study medicine in Norway?

We Answered:

In addition to what Hunger said, I recommend you research what student loans and financial assistance will be available to you as a foreigner. Even if you have money saved for college, it's good to know what (if any) options you have in an emergency.

Rachel Said:

what is it like in Norway for a student?

We Answered:

Ok if you were studying in Norway you'd have to learn Norwegian, usually Bokmål, though in some places Nynorsk would be more appropriate (though much harder to get learning material). This is true for all first degree courses at Norwegian Public Universities.

Most young people have good English as it's taught from 8 years old through to 19 and most english programs on TV are not dubbed but subtitled. For technical issues though people will generally use Norwegian, and this includes most public offices and banks and the likes. You can live here without Norwegian but you would be isolated.

If you're outside of the EU/EEA you'll need a suitable visa. If you're studying this means that you will need to show sufficient funds to support yourself during your studies and Norway isn't cheap.

About 5% of the population are from non European Backgrounds, and the Blue Eyed Blond stereotype is more Sweden than Norway anyway. You'd only get stared at for your behavior in general, not your skin colour. Saying that a lot of Norwegians are liberal in their outlook, but don't yet "get" how words and phrases that seem innocent to them can be quite offensive to others.

There are no penguins outside of the zoos, penguines are a southern Hemisphere creature. There are also no Polar Bears unless you go out to Svarlbard. The Viking culture is historic and something Norwegians are proud off, but it is history. There are much closer links to the rural lifestyle of the 1800, the romanticisim of the Fjords, Grieg, Ibsen and the likes, especially as Norwegian Nationalisim had it's flowering in this time.

Other courses in English are generally only offered to exchange students who come here to study for one year. To be accepted to any other degree program, fluent Norwegian is required. Most people prove their proficiency through a test called Bergenstesten. It took me a year of full time study to pass the test, despite having fluent Swedish (not as a native language though).

A residence permit isn't required for citizens of countries in the EU. You just need to pre-register online, then visit your local police station in Norway with documentation that proves you have the funds to support yourself while here.

Unless you're willing to put at least a year into studying the Norwegian language (many immigrants take 2-3 years), your only options are to come on exchange with a British university, or wait until you've graduated. There are plenty of Master's programs available in English. I highly recommend studying Norwegian meanwhile, though. It would help immensely in finding part-time work and having a good social life. Here's information on how to apply:

Also be aware that Norway is incredibly expensive. Most costs are 2x what they are in the UK, and food is especially expensive.
