woah fucking weird i was going to post an exact thread right now about going to europe to study.
i wanna go to the glasgow school of arts.. i reckon that studying in europe would be such a better experience than in australia, cos you'd get such a bigger mix of cultures and experiences.
/end wank wank wank
i'm not sure about it being cheaper, actually i have nfi how the uni fees system works in europe at all..?

ehhh.....i dunno about ur uni, but our uni gives travel grants out of $1000 if u wanna study in any country........
then u can apply for a scholarship as well on top of that...(anywhere from $500 to $5000)
ur degree is still finished at the required time as well!

hey, check out http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/m...&messid=3574687&STARTPAGE=1&parentid=0&from=1
It's this other post about study in europe. while uni is cheaper there, living costs are WAY higher it would seem, so I guess you pay for "the experience" in the end anyway.
Which uni do you happen to attend (if you don't mind), and how do you get a scholarship? I mean, I doubt they hand out $1000 to anyone who wants a holiday. Do you then need to pay fees at your uni o/s on top of fees at your aussie uni? Oh, the possibilities...

nah nah nah......
u get a $1000 if u apply befor 31st of this month...guaranteed.
ur scholarship will depend on ur uni marks.....because it ranges from $500 to $5000, the requirement will vary accordingly.
u pay the same for uni fees as u would in australia (HECS), same price.
depending on ur scholarship prize (if u get one), ur living costs will vary overseas...

Why would your University give out scholarships? What benefit would it get out of doing so
?

In the case you mentioned, they give scholarships because it will attract the student to their University. Why though, would your University give out a scholarship to a student to study overseas, shouldn't the overseas University be giving out the scholarship
?

well yea, that would be logical, but because the unis have a mutual agreement, it dosent really matter which uni is paying for what!
its also to encourage international study... people usually cant go coz of cost factors, and if these cost factors prohibit stdying abroad, then the existing relationship between UOW and the forieg unis cease to exist.

only 1000?
Fuck maquarie gives 3000 to everyone who gets accepted to study abroad and then you can apply for additional scholarships on top of that...
ohh and i just found this..
"Students who wish to study in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden will receive an additional AUD$1000 for each semester they spend abroad to help offset the expense of living in these countries. "

It's not UOW who gives out the scholarships. The uni is involved in many international student exchange programs with other universities around the world including the UK, France, Germany, Canada, US and Japan. The idea of offering scholarships to UOW students is so those students from the other uni's have someone to exchange with. If you have a look at UOW's site, you'll notice that the scholarships of $5000 and the like are only offered to unis like one in Japan where it's a total engineering university and no courses are taught in english... whereas UK/Canada/US unis hardly ever offer scholarships because of their popularity besides the $1000 travel grant which is used for an incentive to attract people to the scheme.Originally posted by Merethrond

u gone thru a scholarship program yet?
studying overseas is all well and good...
i rejected an offer from london school of economics (LSE) and royal veterinary college...the living costs are way too high in the UK and the undergraduate degrees are very much the same worldwide - that is, the basic foundations of what you want to do...also note, that it is the European Union member countries that are entitled to the considerably cheaper uni fees over there...
for example, LSE is 2000pound for EU member citizens, whereas overseas students are 10000 pound for fees only! thats AUD24000 and that doesnt include living costs, books, clothes, etc....its way too expensive!
it would be much easier (and cheaper because you would work with the undergrad degree, presumably) to do postgrad degrees overseas and would probably end up looking better on resume/cv
i hope this helps a lot!
