Most students think of Fiji as one island, however, Fiji is made up of 300 independent islands. The number of fresh resources in this area are astounding. There are two main islands that make up over half of the country’s population, they are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. We will cover the traditional tuition cost for undergraduates to postgraduates, cost of student living, and what universities are both private and public.

Universities in Fiji:

• Fiji National University
• University of the South Pacific
• University of Fiji
• Fiji School Of Medicine
• Fiji Maritime Academy
• Fulton Adventist University College
• Pacific Theological College
• Suva Adventist College

The University of the South Pacific only has an acceptance rate of around 50% for international students. This is because the university looks to incorporate a ratio of 50/50, domestic to international students. With a total of 85 available academic programs to choose from, studying in Fiji looks to be wildly interesting. The University of the South Pacific does house around 39 different nationalities each year.

What academics does the University of the South Pacific have:

Everything from accounting, studying Fijian, agriculture, business management, tourism management, food and nutrition, history, culture, languages, English literature, human resources, humanities, biology, chemistry, biotechnology, medicine, tropical medicine, physics, pacific languages, math, sociology, politics, political science, law, technology, Hindi studies, education, geology, geography, marine management, economics, information systems, pacific policing, social work, vocational education, and population studies.

There are so many available academics that students may end up wanting to study something they are truly passionate about. The University of the South Pacific caters to students who want to turn their passionate studies into a full-length career.

Cost of Living for Students

Living in Fiji is considered cheaper than most European countries, however, it does mean that students still need to budget. Luckily, students can budget for around 500 pounds a month which can include transportation, daily needs, and the occasional restaurant outing.

Accommodation is relatively cheap in all of Fiji, that is if a student decides to rent. Renting a little studio or an apartment stick around 200-350 pounds per month. This is a lot cheaper than the flats that run for around $2,000 plus in London.

Tuition Cost and Expectance

The traditional tuition cost comes down to which island the student is living on and which university they have been accepted into. For each academic year, students can expect to budget around $10,000 – $15,000 per year. This from undergraduate to postgraduate, and any time a student gears up to pursue a postgraduate degree, they can expect tuition prices to rise.

Languages Spoken in Fiji

The languages spoken in Fiji consist of Fijian, English, Fiji Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, and a mixture of multi-lingual citizens. Students will find out that picking up Fijian may be a lot easier than they previously thought. And it is always suggested that students should learn a countries main language before traveling to study in that country. Not only is this the best alternative, and it will help students to travel throughout the country to explore the beauty this nation holds, but it will be an incredible learning experience.

We will uncover the facts about studying in Estonia, that many students may not know about. For example, Estonian Sign Language is a universal language that is used widely throughout the country. And learning Estonia Sign Language is highly encouraged for not only domestic students but for international students interested in studying in Estonia. The country has one of the most well-respected higher education institution systems and many postgraduate medical students tend to spend some of their college career studying in Estonia.

Universities in Estonia:

• Tallinn University
• Tallinn University of Technology
• Estonian University of Life Sciences
• Estonian Academy of Arts
• The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre
• Estonian Aviation Academy
• Estonian Entrepreneurship University of Applied Sciences
• Tallinn University of Applied Sciences
• Tartu Health Care College

• Baltic Defense College
• Tartu Academy of Theology

The list above is combination of public and private institutions that allows many different international students to send in admissions and receive various international scholarships to pursue their higher learning education in Estonia.

Cost of Living

Since the currency in Estonia is the Euro, this means most foreign students will need to plan ahead budget wish. Because the Euro exceeds the U.S. dollar, as well as, many other national currencies. But students can expect to spend around 300-600 EUR a month on accommodation, food, clothing, and daily needs.

In Estonia, accommodation price can vary based on which season it is, this is because Estonia does experience a seasonal summer tourist boom, and this means prices will go up in some areas.

For college campus dormitories, students can expect to shell out around 150 EUR or if the student chooses to pick a studio flat, that can add up to around 550 EUR.

However, this amount does suggest that Estonia is on the cheaper side when it comes to other European countries.

Tuition Cost

General tuition fees can always differ depending on which country a student decides to transfer to continue their higher education studies. In Estonia, vary from undergraduate students to graduate and postgraduate students. For example, undergraduate students can expect to spend around 1,660 EUR for a Bachelor’s degree, but around 7,000 – 8,000 EUR for a Master’s degree.

With any medicine base program, the cost will always be about double the amount of tuition a Master’s degree, in this case, in Estonia, pursing a medicine degree would come out to about 13,000 EUR.

Languages Spoken in Estonia

Many languages happen to be spoken in Estonia, such as: Voro, Seto, Russian, German, Swedish, Finnish, (Sign language is used widely here), as well as Estonian and some English. However, it is greatly suggested that foreign students should learn the Estonian language, Finnish, or Estonia Sign Language to help with their cultivation into the country and day to day life.

For example, The National University is a private college as well as the oldest in the country. The foundation for this school had been created in 1946, where the main academic focuses where on agriculture, education, and math.

Faculties that are part of the National University include:

• Medicine

This list does not include all of the academics that can be studied at The National University.

Cost of Living

The cost of living in Indonesia for an international student may come as a shock to them, because they would actually be saving more by living in this country. The average living cost including rent is around $235 USD per month.  This way students can end up acquiring about a part-time job through the university they are attending or through an online alternative.

Having extra funds for any transportation cost would be ideal.

Tuition Cost

First off, if international students go to Indonesia to study medicine, they can expect their tuition fees to be more near the 10,000 EUR range. However, if students are studying another subject matter, they can expect to pay between $3,000 – $7,000 per academic year.

Now tuition cost can fluctuate based on the university or economy in some countries.

Languages Spoken in Indonesia

Get ready to re-read this sentence because Indonesia is probably the most multicultural country in the world.There are over 800 languages spoken in Indonesia according to reports from around 10 years ago. Many sources have taken into consideration that several of these tend to dialects of the same language. Indonesia has become one of the most linguistically diverse countries in the world.

Virtually students could learn any secondary language and be able to speak it while living in Indonesia.

Why should international students finish their studies in Cyprus? What does Cyprus present to foreign students those other countries do not and what is the cost of living in this country? From academic programs to the tuition, we will cover all of the general questions and inquires that a student would ask.

First off, we will present a list of Cyprus universities that are currently open as public or private institutions:

• University of Cyprus
• European University Cyprus
• Cyprus College
• University of Nicosia
• Cyprus University of Technology
• Neapolis University Pafos
• Open University of Cyprus
• Frederick University
• The Cyprus Institute
• KES College
• Cyprus Institute of Marketing
• Cyprus International Institute of Management
• Higher Technical Institute of Cyprus

Above is a list of the top Cyprus universities that international students are granted admission or send in admissions forms to eventually be enrolled.

At the University of Cyprus, we will share the academic programs that are available for students to pursue:

• Architecture
• Biological Sciences
• Byzantine And Modern Greek Language and Literature
• Chemistry – Materials Chemistry
• Classical Studies
• Interdepartmental program in Mathematics and Economics
• Modern Languages and European Studies
• Mechanical And Manufacturing Engineering
• Turkish Studies – Linguistics/Literature
• Business Administration – Finance
• Turkish Studies – History/Politics
• Journalism
• Political Sciences

Above is only half of the available studies that the University of Cyprus offers, also this list is only for undergraduates. Postgraduates can also study the same academic studies above as well.

Average Tuition Cost

What type of tuition cost will students need to plan for when they are creating a school budget? In Cyprus, foreign students can expect to pay for an undergraduate degree, a maximum of 13,000 EUR or a low minimum of 3,000 EUR. The reason there is such a vast difference is because the universities in Cyprus decide how much tuition will cost per academic year.

Living Cost

There is a fine line between buying groceries to cook at home, or eating out at restaurants. And in Cyprus the average living cost for rent and daily needs is between 300-800 EUR. However, if a student decides to eat at restaurant multiple times a week, they can expect their monthly living cost to rise to 1,200 EUR.

In Cyprus, the living cost is greatly affected by how an individual decides how to live. Like we mentioned above, to stay within budget or even under 400 EUR. An individual would need to primarily cook their dinners at home, rather than going out and ordering takeout.

Languages Spoken in Cyprus

The two main languages spoken in the country are Turkish and Greek. However, the best way to understand the diverse layout of Cyprus, will break it down. Cyprus as an island is divided into two known sections, one being the Cypriot Turks and the Greek Cypriots. The Cypriot Turks live in the north part of the country, while the Greek Cypriots live in the southern part of Cyprus. Nearly 3% of the population happen to speak Armenian and Arabic, and most of these also speak Greek. Cyprus is represented as a multicultural place, but it would be highly beneficial if an international student learns the basic routes of Greek before moving there.
