Each country offers a different balance of cost, opportunity and lifestyle. Here's a straight comparison to help you choose what fits you best.
Choosing where to study is about more than rankings. It's about what you can afford, where you'll feel at home, and where your degree will take you after graduation.
Below are the destinations we work with every day — with honest numbers and realistic expectations. Compare them, then talk to a counsellor about which one fits your profile.
Tuition ranges are indicative and vary by university and course. All figures in local currency equivalents.
World-ranked universities, strong post-study work rights and a warm, multicultural student community. A favourite for Nepali students pursuing business, IT and engineering.
Centuries-old institutions, globally recognised degrees and a shorter course duration — a 1-year master's saves both time and money. Ideal for students who want a strong academic brand.
Affordable tuition, high-quality public universities and one of the clearest pathways to permanent residency in the world. Popular for business, healthcare and tech programs.
The world's largest higher-education system — over 4,500 institutions, unmatched research opportunities and a global alumni network. Wide range of tuition options, from community colleges to Ivy League.
A rising destination with world-class technology and engineering universities, generous scholarship programs and a vibrant student life. Excellent value for students interested in tech, business and design.
A quick reference — best paired with a counselling session where we look at your specific profile.
| Country | Typical Tuition | Course Length | Work During Study | Post-Study Visa |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇦🇺 Australia | AUD 22k–45k / yr | 1.5–3 yrs | 48 hrs / fortnight | 2–4 yrs |
| 🇬🇧 United Kingdom | GBP 12k–28k / yr | 1–3 yrs | 20 hrs / week | 2 yrs |
| 🇨🇦 Canada | CAD 15k–35k / yr | 2–4 yrs | 24 hrs / week | Up to 3 yrs |
| 🇺🇸 United States | USD 15k–45k / yr | 2–4 yrs | 20 hrs / week | 1–3 yrs |
| 🇰🇷 South Korea | KRW 5M–12M / yr | 2–4 yrs | 20 hrs / week | 6 months–2 yrs |
It depends on your budget, academic profile and long-term goals. If PR is your priority, Canada is usually the strongest option. For a shorter, high-brand degree, the UK leads. For work opportunities during study, Australia offers the most hours. We help you compare all of this honestly in your first counselling session.
Beyond tuition, plan for living costs (roughly USD 800–1,500 per month depending on country and city), visa fees, health insurance, airfare and a one-time consultancy fee. We give every student a full cost breakdown before they commit to anything.
Yes — every destination we support allows part-time work during study (usually 20 hours per week, 48 hours per fortnight in Australia). These hours are meant to help with living expenses, not to fund your entire education.
Most universities require proof of English proficiency. Some accept alternative tests, and a few waive the requirement if your previous education was in English. We'll tell you exactly what your shortlisted universities ask for.
Usually 3 to 6 months from your first counselling session to your flight. Visa processing alone can take 3 to 12 weeks depending on the country and time of year — so starting early matters.
We prepare applications carefully to minimise this risk, and we review every financial document before submission. In the rare case of a refusal, we help you understand the reason and work through the next steps — reapplication, alternative destination, or deferral.
One short conversation is usually enough to narrow it down.
