    Melbourne · in Russian

    Study in Melbourne worth choosing, explained in Russian

    I compare tuition, entry requirements, campus location and upfront costs. Based in Melbourne — I know the city and its providers first-hand.

    Overview

    Melbourne has many institutes and universities in one city — the #1 student city in Australia and #3 in the world for liveability. Studying here can cost very different amounts, if you compare cost and entry requirements rather than brochures. I live in Melbourne and help Russian-speaking students find a program that fits what they can manage.

    The worse end of both ranges: expenses at the top, income at the bottom. Income is calculated at the casual minimum rate — the floor of pay, not a typical wage, and nobody can guarantee that many hours will be available. Visa financial requirements do not count future earnings.
