    1. I don’t see how the Australian public system can possibly be that expensive. Uni is ~50-60k assuming you’re an Australian resident coming out of high school, and then you’re paid after that 70-90k initially and it ramps up from there. There are costs after that for specialists, but that seems strange to include if you’re talking about generic “medical school”.

      Maybe you’re confused about “domestic” vs “commonwealth supported”? Virtually everyone is commonwealth supported if they are a permanent resident of Australia. Domestic fees apply in niche cases.

    2. I must say there has to be a remark – cost for appliers

      It’s interesting about a real cost as a whole

    3. I’m curious about the Belgium data. I would assume it’s the cost for a non EU citizen because standard tuition is 835€ a year and you get financial aid for attending the university until you are 24 to the tune of 2000€ a year. Non EU member is 5010 € a year.

      Cost is one thing, availablity of actually studying is another.

      I recently talked with a lady who is studying dentistry in Latvia because in order to study dentistry in her home country of Canada she would have to wait years in line; afai understood, it’s not the matter of cost.
