david2810 Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) Hi.I'm an international student and I want to study in Australia or New Zealand. My grades are pretty good and I've got so many 6's and 7's. However, the problem is that tuition fees are so high and I can't afford them.Is there any way to overcome this problem?Unfortunately, scholarships are very competitive and I don't think I can count so much on them.Thanks.PS: In the interim grades, I got a total of 39 including ToK and excluding self-taught. So I would be a hard-working student but the fees obstacle is a problem! Edited December 25, 2012 by david2810 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwich Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Get a student loan? It's how almost all students in the UK who don't have rich parents willing to fund them have to go through University. You come out of the other end laden with debt, but at least everybody around you is also laden with debt. In the UK I'd say there are extremely, extremely few ways to avoid or reduce tuition fees, if any. You just have to start finding ways to come up with the money and hope that you've applied for a decent enough degree that you'll earn it back later. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you know any loans given to international students? Because as far as I know, governmental loans are only given to you if you are an EU or UK national, which I'm not.When I start university, I'll have resided in an EU country for 2 years. But I don't think that will help me as long as I'm not an EU national. And that's the big problem! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 You can get a part-time job. I'm working 3 jobs now to cover my university tuition. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
