Often overlooked as an Australian holiday destination, Tasmania offers pristine beaches, rugged rainforests, fresh seafood and a nightlife that rivals that of Melbourne.

Getting to Hobart is both cheap and incredibly accessible, being just two hours from Sydney and an hour and a half from Melbourne by plane. Alternatively, if you have an extra 10 hours on your hands, the Spirit of Tasmania ferry crossing is an unpredictable but interesting experience.

If you’ve only got 72 hours to spare for a trip to Hobart to fit around your studies, read on for some must-do ways to spend your time there.

Check out the MONA

Coming into Hobart from the airport you’ll get a glimpse of the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), an art gallery known worldwide for its unusual and sometimes controversial exhibitions. With collections from ancient, modern and contemporary art, there’s something for everyone. Once you’ve had your fill of art, pop into the restaurant or one of the bars for some delicious local delicacies. Quick tip - beware of its unusual opening times - the museum is closed on Tuesdays, so don’t miss your chance to go! Admission is AU$28 for adults or AU$25 if you have a student card.

Party the night away at Salamanca Art Centre

We all know Friday night’s the best night of the week, and this is even more true in Hobart. Start your night early at Salamanca Art Centre (the heart of Hobart’s arts scene), at the courtyard, which is cleverly built into the cliff face. Rektango, as the night is called, is a free event which has been running for over 15 years. With an impressive live band playing in the background and a modest and reasonably-priced bar, it’s the perfect place to meet friendly locals all year round. Expect sangria in the summer and hot mulled wine in the winter months. Grab some dinner from one of the restaurants serving up local seafood, and get ready to hit up the bars on Salamanca Place.

Explore Hobart’s culinary scene

Brunch in Hobart is unmissable, and after climbing the hills to get to the best brunch spot you’ll be well ready for a hearty fill. The Pigeon Hole, a cozy, hole in the wall type café, comes highly recommended. The staff are friendly, the menu small, but sufficient, and all the food is homemade, responsibly sourced – and absolutely delicious.

Then it’s time to return to the scene of last night’s antics, where Salamanca market will have magically popped up. Over 300 stall holders gather here every Saturday, selling Tasmanian grown honey, lavender, cheese, wine, clothes bags and so much more.  Note the emphasis on home grown, eco-friendly produce!

Go on some unforgettable day trips

If you’re an adventurous spirit and keen to get out of the big city, a day trip down the Tasman Peninsula will provide you with incredible coastal scenery and an immersive experience into Australian history. In the 70 km (43.5 mile) drive south of Hobart, there are a few short stops well worth your time, in particular the Tessellated Pavements, which are famous for the reflections they create in the water. Be sure to stop at the independent coffee van ‘Cubed’ just south of Eagle Hawk Neck, serving coffee that would rise to the top even in Melbourne. Continue to follow the coastal road down to Port Arthur, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and well worth a full day’s attention if you have the time.

If you’d rather feast your eyes on a beautiful bay, the east coast of Tasmania has plenty of options. Rent a car from one of the many companies and drive two hours north of Hobart to the quiet seaside town of Coles Bay. If you’re there in the summer months, it’s perfect for a swim in crystal-clear waters, surrounded by the beautiful pink granite cliffs. In the winter months, visit the pizzeria for a stone baked pizza and a comforting hot toddy while admiring the snowy peaks. 

Coles Bay also makes for an ideal location to explore the Freycinet National Park, home to the iconic Wineglass Bay, which is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Just a short walk to the top will provide you with stunning views, friendly wallabies and opportunities for eagle-spotting.

Spend a long weekend in Hobart and its surrounds, and you’ll be sure to want to come back and see what the rest of Tasmania has to offer.

When you think about Australia, your mind probably goes straight to Sydney, Uluru or kangaroos. Adelaide probably doesn't even crop up. Adelaide does seem to get a slightly bad rep for being kind of boring, but like anywhere else, a place is what you make it. Adelaide is where I spent my study abroad year and I LOVED it!

I decided to do a year abroad in my second year of uni. This all felt a little bit last minute and I was super stressed about choosing where to go. I wanted to go somewhere English-speaking so I wasn't limited by what courses I could do etc, and I didn't really want to go to the US (I was only 19 at the time so it would have been a bit rubbish). So, this left Australia. Which is somewhere I've always wanted to go, anyway. My uni was partnered with a few unis across Australia - I immediately set my heart on Melbourne. My home university is in Brighton (UK) and Melbourne seemed a lot like an Aussie version of that.

I put Adelaide down as my second choice but didn't really want to go there. But as Melbourne's too popular, I was sent to Adelaide, and I'm here to tell you why I'm so glad that that happened.

*Warning: this post is filled with ugly photos of me from my year abroad*

Here are some of the things I think are pretty neat about Adelaide:

It’s great value for money

That's not even the whole garden.

By Australian standards, anyway. As a student you are most likely broke 90 percent of the time, so you don't wanna live somewhere that will suck the life out of your bank account (I'm looking at you, Sydney). In Adelaide, you'll pay a fraction of the rent you would in Sydney and probably get a lot more for it. My rent was probably about AU$500-600 a month and I had huge room, and my house not only had a massive back garden but also a front garden AND parking space. I rented my house through Student Rooms who I highly recommend - they make it super easy, especially for international students. My garden had a large garage in it which, once spruced up, was perfect for parties (dinner and/or drinking)!  I went to (and hosted) a lot of house parties in Adelaide, which are so much more fun than going out, especially in the heat.

It’s a very livable city

Australia is huge, which means it can be difficult to do anything without a car, but living in Adelaide you hardly even notice. The public transport is excellent - there are trams, trains, and buses to take you wherever you need to go. You can get a student Metrocard which allows you to travel at a discounted rate, or you can buy passes which allow you unlimited travel within a certain timeframe. Also, if you're in the city center, using the tram is free, which can make shopping a lot easier. It also helps that the city center isn't complicated, it's set out in a very structured, parallel manner and most of the important stuff is concentrated on about three main streets, making it difficult to get lost!

The Barossa Wine Valley

My wine glass was very empty.

The Barossa Wine Valley is world famous. If you buy a bottle of wine that says product of South Australia, this is probably where it comes from. Just about an hour outside of Adelaide. There are plenty of wine tours you can buy where you will be driven from winery to winery to get your fill of the winiest wine. Or, if have a really good friend who’s willing to be your designated driver, you can get very drunk on AU$5. Wine tasting is very fun, but I did learn the hard way that you are not allowed to pour your own glass of wine, that’s how you get in trouble.

Mad March

Face deep in a ball pit at an Exchange Student Network (ESN) cocktail party.

Some poor (or really good, you decide) planning means that almost everything big that is going to happen in Adelaide happens in one month - March. Mad March is host to the Adelaide Fringe Festival, WOMADelaide, Adelaide Festival, and Clipsal 500, among others. Despite the Fringe being on every year in my home uni city Brighton, I went for the first time in Adelaide and LOVED it. Myself and some friends went to see Briefs - I highly recommend them!

This is all not to say there isn't other stuff going on throughout the year - there are festivals and events happening all year round. You could catch a performance at the historic Thebarton Theatre - there are plenty of big names playing in Adelaide. Or you could enjoy your first game of Australian football - in Adelaide, you obviously have to support the Crows. The University Union (I attended the University of Adelaide not the University of South Australia, so I can't speak for them, but I'm sure it's similar) and the Exchange Student Network (ESN) were very good at organizing events all year round. These events were perfect for making new friends and getting to know the city - so make good use of these!

The Central Market

The Central Market dates back to 1869 and is one of the best sources of fresh and wholesome food in Adelaide. There’s an assortment of stalls that sell amazing veggie food and foods from different cultures. This is as well as the obligatory fruit and veg stalls, there are cheeses, nuts, sweets, and fabrics! It is a great place to do your food shop if you’re trying to cut down on your plastic footprint.

Pro tip: On a Saturday afternoon literally everything is AU$1 or less, as the market is closed Sunday and Monday - so everything must go!

Rundle Mall

Almost everything is on one street, which some may see as a bad thing, but I like it, it makes life easy. That street is called Rundle Mall. Rundle Mall has all your favorite Australian brands that you've probably never heard of, and also some that you might have i.e. Target. This mall is also home to some balls - Malls Balls. These balls are nationally famous and are super shiny which is great for selfie taking. You also are almost guaranteed to encounter a man playing several instruments, the most of important of which is of course the iconic didgeridoo.

It has top notch beaches

Australia is notorious for beautiful beaches, and Adelaide is no exception. I lived a 20-minute bus journey from my closest white sand beach. This was amazing in the Spring and Autumn as once you've finished uni you can nip to the beach for a quick dip in the sea. In the summer, you'll probably be enjoying beaches elsewhere in Australasia and the winter isn't exactly ideal for swimming (unless you're into that kind of thing).

Adelaide Hills

I lost a shoe to this waterbody. RIP.

Adelaide is surrounded by hills which make for some beautiful scenery and some lovely drives. Up in the hills, is a little German village called Hahndorf. The village is filled with boutique stores, historic buildings, art, and loads of good food. And, the year I was there it even actually snowed in Hahndorf (only a little, for like a day, but it still happened)!

There are probably loads of cool things to do up in them there hills, but one of my favorite things was going swimming in Highbury Quarry. This is a big ol' disused quarry that has filled with water. The water is crystal clear blue probably owing to the high levels of leachates and being highly polluted. Pretty as heck, though! Now, I DO NOT encourage trespassing, but what people choose to do in their own time is up to them.

Adelaideans have a unique accent (apparently)

I won't lie, they all sound Australian to me. BUT if you want a slightly different sounding Aussie, then Adelaide is the place for you! Most Aussies pronounce words in an 'American' way, whereas people from South Australia (Adelaide) pronounce them in a more 'British' way.

Adelaide has actual seasons

Now of course everywhere has seasons, but what I mean is that it actually gets almost cold in Adelaide. You may think this is a bad thing, but it was the main reason I chose somewhere in the South of Australia. Seasons are a blessing if, like me, you’re accustomed to the cold. It can get up to 40°C in the summer and down to around 5°C in the winter. Don't get me wrong, I love the sun and the heat but there is only so much this pasty white girl can take.

It's the City of Churches

When you do a generic internet search for Adelaide you will find out that it is the 'City of Churches'. I'm not really sure why this is - the people who built Adelaide just really like churches, I guess. The oldest church in Adelaide is the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at 200 years old! Now, personally, a church isn't something I get excited about (although I do love the architecture) but if you're a real church-head, then Adelaide is calling you!

The universities

There three main universities in Adelaide – the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia (UniSA), and Flinders University. I went to Adelaide Uni and thoroughly enjoyed it. I studied Ecology, which was taught super well and meant I got to go on field trips. These were great as I got to make friends that were Australian, and not just more international students (not that they're not great)! I also took some anthropology courses during my program and found out that I'm actually quite good at it.

Adelaide University is good for more sciencey maths kinda stuff. The University of South Australia is generally better for nursing, arts, and social sciences. Flinders University is best suited to medicine and dietetics, due to its proximity to the hospital. There are talks of a merger of UniSA and Adelaide to form one super-university, so watch this space…

--

Now, my opinion is very biased I know, because I had the best year and I can't wait to go back. But you should choose to go to Adelaide, it's not like you won't see the rest of Australia when you travel. I believe you get a better experience when you live somewhere where you can actually afford to have fun! I made some amazing friends, which was easy to do as everyone is so nice. Eventually, I want to move back to Australia, and I will be heading straight for Adelaide!

*Be warned though, by living in Australia you will become one of them - you will start doing things like saying 'hey' at the end of every sentence or believing that 30°C isn't really that hot. But the sacrifices we make, hey?* And don’t get me started on their weird slang.

So, in conclusion, Adelaide is 10/10 - definitely would recommend to a friend.

What makes a good doctor? The ability to regurgitate dense medical knowledge and make the right diagnosis. But also compassion, of course, and resilience.

If you’re finishing high school or college and considering different careers, it can be daunting to commit to a vocation, especially when it’s one which requires as much training as becoming a doctor. However, there are ways to tell from your personality traits whether you’re suited to a career in the health service.

Read on to discover the attributes that make a great doctor.

You’re not afraid to admit gaps in your knowledge

A good doctor should be able to say “I don’t know’ when there are gaps in their knowledge or not enough information to get a clear picture.

Asking for a second opinion or running more tests when you’re unsure about something isn’t incompetence. On the contrary, jumping to conclusions and prescribing treatment within minutes of meeting the patient could put the patient’s life at risk.

Medicine is incredibly complex and may involve lots of moving parts - sometimes you need to run more tests, consult a textbook or speak to a specialist before you make a diagnosis.

You’re not just book smart. You’re emotionally intelligent

If doctors do make the wrong diagnosis, it’s often because they’ve got used to sticking to a script of questions and answers and have failed to pick up on red flags and signs that the issue may be more complex.

Sometimes, an ailment can be psychological more than it is physical, and medical professionals fail to realise this if they don’t pay enough attention to their patients.

Being a great doctor isn’t just about being able to reel off a textbook answer. It’s also about confronting hard emotional issues and your psychological health and life at home.

Jae Won Joh, a physician and healthcare blogger, knows this all too well. Jae recalls a patient in her late thirties who had come to the emergency room with a complaint of chest pain.

He says: “Her electrocardiograms were completely unremarkable, her labs were fine, and as I questioned her at length trying to figure out what was going on, I only became more and more confused.

After informing his attending physician of the case, Jae Won Joh watched him kneel at the patient’s side and ask whether she had any personal issues at home.

He says: “The floodgates broke. The patient's husband had been laid off and out of work for nearly nine months. They had recently had their home foreclosed on. Their car had nearly been repossessed multiple times. They had three young children to feed and buy school supplies for, with minimal income.

“That's what this was. It wasn't a heart attack or arrhythmia or something physiologic. It was psychiatric in origin.”

You’re a good listener and observer

As Gary Larson, a Medical Director at Procure Proton Therapy Center, puts it: “If you listen to the patient, they will tell you what’s wrong with them.

“Most patients have also read quite a bit on the internet. I start with a general question like ‘What is your understanding of your diagnosis so far and why Dr. Smith wanted you to come see me?’

“By finding out where they are in their understanding to begin with, it saves me a lot of time in telling them what they need to know. What are the gaps that need to be filled? What are the misconceptions that need to be corrected?”

Often, listening to your patient talk about their symptoms and medical history will be just as important as the physical exam. Clues about diagnosis will be hidden in your patient’s complaint, and you have to have a good ear so you can sort what’s relevant from what isn’t.

You’re relentless

Not every patient will present with a common, easily identifiable condition. In rarer cases, making the right diagnosis can be a long and arduous journey which involves consulting with specialists and other medical professionals, as well as having several conversations with the patient, trying different treatment plans and running multiple tests.

A sign of a good doctor is relentless commitment to the patient’s cause and the ability to keep trying until you’re able to go back to the patient with a clear and accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

That persistence and perseverance will come in handy at medical school too, as you’ll need lots of resilience to keep up your grades and academic performance in medical school.

You have faith in your own judgment

While running several tests to rule out serious conditions is always a good idea, you shouldn’t be running every medical test under the sun simply for good measure. One of the biggest challenges junior doctors have to overcome is not being able to trust their judgment.

In a letter written to her younger self and to all junior doctors around the world, Suzanne Koven, a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital, writes: “My dear young colleague, you are not a fraud.

“You are a flawed and unique human being, with excellent training and an admirable sense of purpose. Your training and sense of purpose will serve you well. Your humanity will serve your patients even better.”

Think you know what the issue is? Don’t be afraid to trust your judgment and waste time and money by running lots of unnecessary additional tests to prove your hypothesis. As Koven makes clear, anyone in that situation should believe in themselves and not feel like a fraud.

What next?

If you’re still not sure whether you’ve got what it takes for a career in the health service, take this short quiz created by the NHS to find out.

If you’ve already made up your mind, why not apply to the University of Central Lancashire’s  Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS)?

The five-year bachelor’s degree will prepare you for a wide range of careers in the health service in our rapidly changing global health environment.

The course was designed with feedback from clinicians and patients and features patient contact from the very first year, with clinical placements each year of your degree and for most of the final year.

Teaching takes place in small diverse classes in outstanding facilities, such as a clinical skills suite and a human anatomy learning center.

英国的全国学生调查(NSS)结果现已公布，显示英国学生中有83%对他们的课程总体感到满意，较2017年下降1%。虽然这仍然很高，但这代表着又一年满意度下降，之前在2016年曾为86%。

威尔士的满意度略高于英国其他地区，威尔士大学有86%的学生总体满意他们的课程。然而，苏格兰的一所大学获得最高分-圣安德鲁斯大学，有94%的学生对他们的课程感到满意。

该调查收集了超过32万名大四本科生的回应，因此代表了超过400所英国大学和学院中70%的合格学生群体的观点。

学生被问及27个与他们的大学经历相关的问题，这些问题分成了诸如“学习机会”，“评估与反馈”和“学术支持”等部分。在对结果发表评论时，Office for Students的首席执行官Nicola Dandridge说：

“虽然我们看到总体满意度下降了1%，但许多问题的满意度水平保持不变，包括学生声音，学术支持，学习资源和评估与反馈问题。”

尽管总体满意度率仍然很高，但Dandridge认为“需要采取更多措施，以确保所有学生都能获得高质量和富有成就感的高等教育经历，从而丰富他们的生活和职业生涯。”

牛津剑桥仍然缺席

值得注意的是，牛津和剑桥都没有参加调查，因为成功的抵制活动导致这两所学校都未达到必需的50%回应率，无法被包括在内。他们去年也曾缺席去年的调查。

学生决定抵制该调查，因为他们担心政府可能允许满意度更高的大学提高学费，以反映可获得的高质量教育。然而，2017年9月政府宣布，国内/欧盟学费将保持在£9,250，直至2019年，而不会随通货膨胀增加，这意味着全国学生调查目前不会被用来作为提高学费的理由，至少暂时不会。

以下是今年全国学生调查中得分最高的12所英国大学。

伦敦的学生总体不太满意

全国学生调查结果对一些位于伦敦的英国大学来说令人失望，仅有71%和72%的学生对伦敦政治经济学院（LSE）和伦敦艺术大学（UAL）的课程感到完全满意。

伦敦的其他顶级大学得分略低于全国平均水平，包括伦敦国王学院、伦敦大学学院、伦敦玛丽女王大学和戈德史密斯大学。伦敦大学的低分被归因于英国首都生活成本较高，以及住宿和交通问题。然而，尽管伦敦的可负担性指数排名较低，但伦敦被评为近期QS最佳学生城市2018中的第一名。

LSE的校长Minouche Shafik告诉卫报：“我们在校园内引入了重大改革，但我们知道这些改变在反映出来之前还需要一些时间。

“提高学生满意度是我们的首要任务。我们正在改变我们的评估流程，改善学术支持和反馈，以及发展校园内的学生服务。我们将继续倾听并继续行动。”

全国学生调查的详细结果将于8月30日发布在Unistats上。

信不信由你，确实有可能用预算出国留学! 一些最好的留学地也是学费低廉，甚至不存在学费的地方。继续阅读，了解更多关于10个最便宜的留学国家的信息，排名不分先后......

1. 挪威

虽然所有的北欧国家都是相对实惠的学习目的地，但挪威是我们的首选，因为除了少数专业课程外，它对来自欧盟内部和外部的每个人都是免费的，在公立大学中也是如此。欧洲的北欧国家以其高质量的生活和迷人的自然美景而闻名，挪威也不例外。在挪威学习的另一个原因是，所有学习阶段都有英语授课的课程，加上大量精通英语的当地人。然而，与其他北欧国家一样，挪威的生活费用也很高；你每年大约需要139,680挪威克朗（约17,200美元）。

2. 台湾

前往亚洲，台湾是另一个最便宜的留学国家。例如，在国立台湾大学（https://www.qschina.cn/universities/national-taiwan-university-ntu）--全国领先的大学，在2019年QS世界大学排名®（https://www.qschina.cn/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2019）中排名第72位--本科生的学费从文科课程每年100,920泰铢（约3,300美元）开始，最高为124,200泰铢（约4,050美元）。台湾有40多所大学提供120多门以英语授课的课程，而且台湾也是学习普通话的热门目的地。台湾还提供良好的生活质量和相对较低的生活费用，每年的住宿费用低至88,000元（约合2,900美元）。

3. 德国

被称为 "思想的国度"，德国继续受到国际学生的欢迎，这也不难理解--它提供著名的大学、相对较低的费用和高质量的生活。除巴登符腾堡州的大学外（https://www.qschina.cn/student-info/university-news/tuition-fees-reintroduced-some-german-universities），所有公立大学的本科和博士阶段都不收取学费。没有在德国读过本科的硕士生通常每年要支付20,000欧元（约合23,450美元）以上的费用，但你也许能找到奖学金（https://www.qschina.cn/student-info/scholarship-advice/scholarships-study-germany）来帮助你。为了支付生活费用，你每年至少需要10,200欧元（约11,950美元），也可能更多，这取决于你的生活方式、地点和消费习惯。而且有一系列英语授课的课程（https://www.qschina.cn/where-to-study/europe/germany/study-germany-english），特别是在研究生阶段。

4. 法国

法国的学费对国内学生和国际学生是一样的，2019/19年度的学费规定为：本科（执照）课程每年170欧元（约200美元），大多数硕士课程243欧元（约285美元），博士课程380欧元（约445美元）。选择性很强的大学校和大学院的费用要高得多，它们的费用由自己决定。首都巴黎（https://www.qschina.cn/university-rankings-articles/qs-best-student-cities/paris）的生活费用将是最高的，但你可能会发现额外的费用是值得的--毕竟，巴黎曾连续四次被评为世界第一大学生城市（目前排名第五）。 如果你还不能说一口流利的法语，你可以在法国用英语学习（https://www.campusfrance.org/en/resource/programs-taught-in-english），大多数英语授课的课程是在研究生阶段。

5. 墨西哥

墨西哥充满了有趣和独特的文化，是拉丁美洲访问量最大的国家之一，有很多东西可以提供给国际学生。学费各不相同，私立大学收费较高，首都墨西哥城的国际本科生每年平均学费约为6,300美元，墨西哥城（https://www.qschina.cn/university-rankings-articles/qs-best-student-cities/mexico-city）被评为世界100个最适合学生的城市之一。墨西哥的生活费用也相当低，按标准预算，首都的所有生活费用加起来约为9,250美元，其他地方则为6,450美元。虽然主要的教学语言是西班牙语，但墨西哥大学正在提供更多的英语教学课程，从而吸引国际学生。

6. 印度

在我们下一个最便宜的留学国家名单中，又回到了亚洲的印度，对于那些想把经济能力和文化多样性结合起来的学生来说，印度是一个绝佳的选择。虽然印地语是100多种语言中最突出的一种，但英语经常被用作印度大学的教学语言，特别是在研究生阶段。生活费用是令人难以置信地实惠，使用公共交通的单程旅行费用可低至相当于29美分。学费取决于你的学习水平和大学，但通常不高于每年7,880美元，而你每年只需花费4,600美元就能舒适地生活。

7. 阿根廷

作为南美洲第二大国家，阿根廷拥有令人惊叹的自然美景，多样化的地理环境使其成为热衷于户外冒险和探索的学生的理想选择。阿根廷也被认为是该地区最安全的国家之一，并以其充满乐趣的文化和热情的民族特性而闻名。你通常可以在任何国家资助的（公立）大学免费学习，私立院校的学费约为每年5,100美元或更多。你需要大约5,000美元的生活费，房租每月只需350美元。

8. 波兰

另一个预算充足的最佳留学地是波兰，它也提供高质量的教育，同时还有大量奇妙的文化和历史可以探索。如果你能说波兰语，并且参加与波兰学生相同的入学考试，用波兰语学习课程，你就可以免费学习。然而，也有许多英语授课的课程，每年的费用约为2000-3000欧元（约2340-3500美元）。生活费也偏低，因为你每年不应该需要超过6600欧元（~7700美元）。首都华沙（https://www.qschina.cn/university-rankings-articles/qs-best-student-cities/warsaw）在最新的QS最佳学生城市指数中被列为负担得起的前20个城市之一，总体排名第53位。

9. 马来西亚

马来西亚无疑是最便宜的留学国家之一，特别是在生活费用方面。其首都吉隆坡（https://www.qschina.cn/university-rankings-articles/qs-best-student-cities/kuala-lumpur）在2016年QS最佳学生城市中的可负担性排名第一，大多数学生每年只需要约14,400马币（约3,550美元）就能在马来西亚舒适地生活。在学费方面，你每学年平均要支付4000美元，但有些课程甚至更便宜。马来西亚也有许多国际大学的分校，如英国的诺丁汉大学（https://www.qschina.cn/universities/university-nottingham）或澳大利亚的莫纳什大学（https://www.qschina.cn/universities/monash-university），提供了以较低费用获得这些机构认可的学位的机会。

10. 南非

在我们对一些预算有限的最佳留学地的考察结束时，南非以其自然美景、文化多样性和动荡的历史而闻名。对于热爱户外活动的学生来说，这也是一个很好的选择，它的生活费用和学费都很低，价格合理。费用各不相同，但在开普敦大学（https://www.qschina.cn/universities/university-cape-town）（QS世界大学排名中南非排名最高的大学）和西开普大学（https://www.qschina.cn/universities/university-western-cape#wurs）学习的国际本科生的平均费用为6,000美元。你每年需要大约12万兰特（约9,150美元）来支付你的生活费用。

请注意，下面给出的数字均为平均值。想要了解确切的学费信息，请查看心仪高校学府官方网站上提供的详细信息。切记，生活费用的预估结果不尽相同，主要取决于所就读的城市和您的生活方式。

澳大利亚

平均学费：国内/欧盟国家学生免费；各级别国际学生每学期726.72欧元（约850美元）。

平均生活成本：每年11400欧元（约13350美元）

来自欧盟的学生可在澳大利亚免费学习，除非该学生完成课程的时间超过了两个学期。这种情况下，每名学生每学期必须支付363.36欧元的学费。学生会的会员费为每学期19.20欧元（约22美元），所有学生都必须支付。

比利时

平均学费：欧盟国家学生每年约906欧元（约1060美元）；非欧盟国家的学生每年4175+欧元（约4900美元以上）。数据适用于各个级别的学位课程。

平均生活成本：每年10200-11400欧元（约11940-13350美元）

选择去比利时留学的原因有很多，包括：享负盛名的高校学府、建立国际交友网络的绝佳机遇、著名的多元化城市、各种地方美食和特色菜肴、迷人的乡村生活、整体高水平的生活质量，当然还有美味的比利时巧克力。另外，这里的学费也不高。

丹麦

平均生活成本：每年14400欧元（约16850美元）

对于不需要支付学费的欧盟学生来说，在丹麦上学真的是一个性价比高的选择。但丹麦的生活成本却很高。尽管大多数教学课程都采用丹麦语，但也有600多个国际认可的英语教学课程项目，而且该国86%的居民会讲英语。

芬兰 

平均学费：欧盟/欧洲经济区学生、以芬兰语或瑞典语学习/正在攻读博士学位的非欧盟学生免学费。以英语学习的非欧盟/欧洲经济区学生平均每年支付4000-18000欧元（约合4700-21070美元）的学费。

平均生活成本：每年9600欧元（约11200美元）

法国 

平均每年学费：对于欧盟/欧洲经济区学生，公立大学的大多数本科课程项目学费为170欧元；大多数硕士课程项目续费为243欧元；博士课程项目为380欧元。私立大学收费相对要高得多。

平均生活成本：每年9900欧元（约11500美元）

法国是世界上最受欢迎的国际旅游目的地之一，同时也是备受欢迎的出国留学目的地，拥有多所著名的大学学府，并且生活成本也并不算高。非欧盟/欧洲经济区学生（不包括博士生）目前所缴纳的学费与欧盟/欧洲经济区学生不同，热度较高的大型院校和教育机构学费要高很多，这些学校和机构都自己设定费用标准。

在首都巴黎，生活成本会高出上文给出的数字，但您会发现超出的费用都花得物有所值——毕竟，巴黎此前已经连续四次被评为世界第一学生城市！

德国 

平均学费：公立大学的本科生和博士全都免费，巴登-符腾堡州除外，那里的非欧盟学生每年需要支付3000欧元（约3500美元）的学费。在德国其他地方，多数非连读硕士课程项目的学费均为每年20000欧元（23400美元）。

作为世界上最大的国家，俄罗斯有许多有趣的文化、历史和自然环境可供探索。这里的生活成本却出人意料地低（除了首都莫斯科），学费也不贵。您也许还能申请到一份奖学金去俄罗斯学习，俄罗斯政府会向有才华的国际学生提供资金支持。

西班牙 

每年平均学费：公立大学本科阶段的学费为750-2100欧元（约880-2450美元）；研究生阶段的学费为1320-4320欧元（约1540-5050美元）。非欧盟学生的学费稍高一些。

瑞典

平均生活成本：每年96000瑞典克朗（约10900美元）

和丹麦一样，在瑞典，来自欧盟内部国家的学生可以免费上学。这两个国家的博士课程项目也有全额资助，为优秀的候选者提供免费获得学位的机会，同时还能赚取薪水。

瑞士拥有多所欧洲先进的大学，包括QS世界大学排名前10位的ETH Zurich - 瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院以及排名紧随其后的EPFL (洛桑联邦理工学院)。这里虽然学费合理，但生活成本却很高。

荷兰 

每年平均学费：欧盟学生以及来自挪威、瑞士、冰岛、列支敦士登或苏里南的学生本科阶段学费为1030欧元，其他大多数课程学费为2060欧元。

非欧盟学生在本科阶段的平均学费为6000-15000欧元（约7000-17500美元），在研究生阶段的学费为8000-20000欧元（约9340-23350美元）。

荷兰是世界各地学生热爱的留学目的地。它以宽容和自由的精神著称，并且拥有其引以为豪的多座优秀学生城市——骑上自行车就可以来到风景如画的乡村（这是荷兰人最喜欢的交通方式）。对欧盟学生来说，学费相对较低，尤其在本科阶段；该国的平均生活成本与许多西欧国家相似。

英国 

每年平均学费：国内/欧盟学生本科阶段学费为9000-9250英镑（约10500-10780欧元）；欧盟以外的国际学生本科阶段学费最低为10000英镑（约13130美元）。国际学生大部分硕士阶段学费为11000-32000英镑（约14440-42000美元）。

平均生活成本：每年12180英镑（16000美元）

尽管英国首都拥有多所令人印象深刻的大学可以选择，但还要注意的是，伦敦的生活成本要比英国其他地方高得多，所以在伦敦学习需要更多的预算。在英国“脱欧”投票后，欧盟学生的学费和资助政策迄今都保持不变。

如果想要做出更加经济的选择，你可以考虑苏格兰的大学——在那里，欧盟学生（不包括来自英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的学生）可以在本科阶段免交学费。北爱尔兰的学费也比较低，欧盟学生本科阶段的学费上限为每年4160英镑（约4700欧元）。

在欧洲免费学习（如果会讲本地语言）！

如果您想在欧洲免费学习，可能要在学习一门新语言上多花些精力；在许多国家，如果你能用当地语言学习，就可以免交学费或交很少的学费读到大学课程。

德国

在德国，英语教学课程项目在本科阶段并不常见（在研究生阶段较为常见）。因此，如果您想享受到这个国家的本科阶段免费教育政策，便需要学习德语，或者对自己所学的内容持开放态度。

波兰 

在某些国家，只有使用当地语言教授的课程才可以免交学费。在这种情况下，您可能还需要和当地学生一样参加入学考试，例如波兰。如果国际学生无法使用波兰语学习，则每年需要支付大约2000-3000欧元（2330-3500美元）的学费。

捷克共和国

另一个可以使用当地语言免费学习的国家是捷克共和国。但英语教学课程的学费也相当便宜，每年的费用约为3800欧元（4330美元）。生活成本也比许多西欧国家低得多，大约每年5400-9000美元。
