gurlbye 93 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 What would you recommend? Australia would be super expensive, but personally i think it is more fun there, also the warm weather is a plus. UK would be a lot cheaper(iam from Europe) but idk how uni life would be like there. Does anyone study business in UK or Australia and can share their experiences? <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93605 1,232 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 do you mean super expensive as in living costs? because yeah if you live in one of the bigger cities it'll be expensive but suburbs close to the city aren't bad. idk anything about postgrad studying costs and it depends on the uni lol the uni of melbourne is probably gonna cost more than like... griffith uni...

�ʿ⪂̫⥿�̫ʾ₎ 232 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I didn't study business, but I've known business students from both. - UK Universities can be really different depending on whether they're campus or city based, and they all have very different atmospheres. - Australia is really expensive to live in - especially if you plan on drinking/going out a lot (seriously I was outraged every time I entered a bar). But you'd have the chance to go travelling, and the weather is nicer... Different universities vary so much that I'd suggest you look at individual ones and decide between them rather than picking the country first. Also are you thinking of just going for a year or for more? Because personally I'd lean more towards Australia if it's just a year, and more towards the UK if it's a long term thing.

No i meant expensive as in tution fees:/ For example a postgraduate course in accounting costs 50.000 -76.000. Australian Dollars for international students!

Is campus or city based better? :D What uni is more fun? Of course i go there to study, but i also think its imortant to network and have good time there Yeah but especially the tution fees for international students are super high! 50.000-76.000 Australian Dollars. I wanted to do a complete masters in either the uk or australia Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course i go there to study, but i also think its imortant to network and have good time there It depends on what you like, different places are just different. http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings?s=Business+%26+Management+Studies For example ^ just looking at the top 15 univsersities for Business Studies: - London School of Economics is in central London and is probably the best for making actual business connections, but it has a reputation for being quite serious/anti social. There are a lot of postgraduate students there though, and a lot of important professors. - UCL and Kings are also in London, and I guess also have close links to industry. But from what I've heard they have more of a community feel and are more traditional than UCL, especially Kings. Rent and transport prices are really high in London. - Cardiff and Leeds are both city univesities in medium size cities, so they might be a good middle ground. - Durham and St Andrews are really old universities that are split into different colleges (like Oxford and Cambridge) which are scattered around/within the city, Durham is small and St Andrews is tiny compared to its university. The towns basically are part of the univeristies. - Bath and Exeter are campus univesities in small cities, they all have a reputation for being very social/fun but for not being as exciting as universities in the bigger cities. (I went to Exeter, about 15% of the people in the city were students or employed by the university, so the city almost felt like part of the university, but not nearly so much as the ones above because the Universities are on the edge of town by themselves) - Lancaster, Warwick and Loughborough are basically just campuses and well outside of the places they're named after - I honestly don't think that I'd like to go to one, especially as a postgraduate.
