A special Brisbane event is the annual City

which is a welcoming ceremony for new

here are just so friendly and willing
to go out of their way to help me with my

And, as a country occupying an entire

unique, offering something different in every
state. Im often spoiled for choice when making

at UQ, which has been very
rewarding for me.
As part of this program, every student is
required to complete a six-month industrial

enough to undertake a research placement

The placement provided me with the

Brisbane is an affordable city and has a
lower cost of living when compared with
other Australian capital cities. Nevertheless,
you still need to plan and budget carefully.
How much it will cost you to live in Brisbane will
depend partly on your lifestyle preferences.
As a guide, if you are living in shared
accommodation off-campus, you can pay
approximately AU$17,400$25,920 per
calendar year while living in Australia. In
addition to this amount, you will also need to
consider establishment costs such as buying
furniture, paying rental bond and setting up
electricity, gas and mobile phone accounts,
as well as other expenses such as visa and
medical fees, tuition fees, return airfares, and
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
Remember that exchange rate variations
may also affect your budget.
