Studying abroad is a dream that is really worth fighting for. But of course you need to understand the cost factors so you can make better plans for studying abroad.
So , as friends who are always ready to accompany you on your study journey, the Hotcourses Indonesia team has prepared an overview of tuition fees for 5 popular study destinations abroad.
United States of America
Average tuition fees:Â USD17,809/year
Average accommodation cost:Â USD8,439/year
The United States is the most popular study destination for international students from various parts of the world. This is not surprising because Uncle Sam’s country has various attractions for international students .
However, due to the size of this country, the costs of studying and living in each region can be very different. For example, states such as Hawaii, Washington DC and California are considered expensive in the US. On the other hand, you can save a lot more if you choose to study in states like Iowa, Ohio, and Indiana.
The choice of higher education institution also affects the costs you will need to spend in the US. The cost of studying at a community college will be much more affordable than the cost of studying at a prestigious university such as Stanford University, Maudy Ayunda’s alma mater.
For complete information, you can read the guide we have compiled regarding the cost of studying in the United States and the cost of living in the United States . Don’t forget to find out additional costs when studying in the US so that your study plans are more mature.

Australia
Average accommodation fees:Â AUD14,878/year
Australia is one of the neighboring countries that is popular among Indonesian students. Every year, it is estimated that 8,500 students from Indonesia enter universities in the Kangaroo Country. Even celebrities such as Nagita Slavina, Iqbaal Ramadhan, and Raditya Dika also chose Australia as their place of study.
But don’t be surprised if the costs of studying and living in this country are quite expensive. Currently, Australia is ranked 14th on the list of the most expensive countries in the world! Luckily, Australia is also the country with the fifth highest average salary in the world. So the high cost of living can be offset by the high salaries of the workers.
Many international students in Australia take advantage of this high salary who want to work to cover living costs or save. While studying, international students in Australia can work up to 20 hours/week. Meanwhile, during college holidays, they can work without time limits.

English
Average tuition fees:Â GBP 16,836/year
Average accommodation fees:Â GBP 3,900/year
England has long been known for its academic excellence. The proof is that there are 2 British universities in the top 3 in the world and 26 others in the top 200. So it is natural that in the last decade there have been more than 15,000 Indonesian students studying in England, such as Gita Gutawa, Vidi Aldiano, and El Rumi.Â
Just like the United States, the cost of studying and living in the UK will be closely related to the higher education institution and city you choose. UKCISA recommends that international students in London prepare funds of GBP 1,265/month. Outside these cities, the recommended monthly fee is GBP1,015.
It is true that the cost of studying in this country is not cheap, but you will get various other benefits when studying in England. One of them is the ease of getting a Graduate Route visa to stay and work in the UK for 2 years after graduation .
If England is your country of choice, you can read complete details about the costs of studying in England and the costs of living in England that we have compiled. There is also information about study scholarships in England for those of you who need it.
Ireland
Average tuition fees:Â EUR17,500/year
Average accommodation fees:Â EUR5,314/year
Ireland is not yet very popular among Indonesian students. However, this country manages to attract thousands of international students every year because of the reliable quality of its education and its tuition fees which are quite affordable for the European region. Ireland also has various other unique aspects that attract international students .Â
The Irish government currently requires each international student to have a minimum of EUR 7,000/year while they study there. Although international students are allowed to work while in Ireland, they are not expected to be completely dependent on the salary they receive.
International students in Ireland must also pay a maximum annual contribution fee of EUR3,000. This fee will be used for various student services, such as exam registration and funding for student clubs.
For complete details, you can read the articles on the cost of studying in Ireland and the cost of living in Ireland that we have prepared for you. Also check information about 1 year scholarships from the Irish Government which may suit your study plans.
Canada
Average accommodation fees:Â CAD7,371/year
In the last 6 years, Canada’s popularity as a study destination for Indonesian students has begun to increase. Even though this country is not cheap, you are guaranteed to get a quality education and lifestyle, as well as abundant job prospects .
Currently international students must provide proof that they have a minimum of CAD10,000 to obtain a Canadian student visa . However, you may have to budget more to suit the location, institution and quality of life you want.
For example, the average monthly residential rental cost in Ontario is around 800 – 1000 Canadian dollars. Meanwhile, rental costs in British Columbia can reach 1,500-2,000 Canadian dollars. If you only have CAD10,000, you can only rent a residence for 5-6 months in British Columbia. So you should adjust your budget to suit the costs you will incur later.
You can read complete information  about this in our guide to the cost of living in Canada and the cost of studying in Canada . Our team has also prepared information on study scholarships in Canada that can help you with your study journey.

New Zealand
Average tuition fees:Â NZD 25,715/year
Average accommodation fees:Â NZD 12,571/year
According to the latest data from Education New Zealand, the number of Indonesian students studying in New Zealand has shown a significant increase. Although New Zealand is currently ranked 16th on the list of the most expensive countries in the world, the country offers an excellent quality of life. The proof is that Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, has won the title of World’s Most Livable City from Deutsche Bank.
As a general rule of thumb, the University of Auckland recommends that international students have funds of around 20,000 – 25,000 New Zealand dollars/year while studying there. These funds will cover the costs of renting accommodation, daily meals, transportation, books, bills, entertainment, etc.
Residential rental costs in Auckland currently reach NZD200-350/month. Meanwhile, grocery shopping costs per week can reach NZD100-150. If you want to live in a city that is cheaper than Auckland, consider Queenstown, Wellington and New Plymouth.
