limeuu the expenses are not that horrifying as u think. in total of fees i calculated is around half a million malaysian ringgit, not including expenses that is and yes, its hard to get in, i din say its a direct entry xD thats why i'm going to work my head off next yr. try my best to get into monash, I dun wan to waste 3 yrs in biomedic in melb U, stupid melb U change plans to get more money.@@

make sure u get it lolx..dont sway away...coz in melbourne here easy to sway ard ~or derail from actual doing.

haha... 0.5m for the course fees + your living expeneses for like 4++ years rite? so i think that will sum up to almost 0.9m....

I am pretty sure that is how much the total will cost as i have friends studying doctor in aussie, and i am myself studying in australia as well....
Living expenses here is really a killer!

but no worries... if you are hardworking enough you can get a part time job here and the pay here is really good!
and make sure you pass your course!!!! haha ALL the best and enjoy!

Feel free to ask me about UNSW medicine...

Melbourne University guarantees you a place in medicine post-grad if you obtain 98% average in Trinity and pass all your biomedicine subjects. Therefore, NO interview, NO hassles, NO referees needed which makes it an easy path in.

On side note, I AM in trinity right now, even though I'm borned in 1990. So, it does not apply to me and I can still get into the undergraduate medicine.

No comment on the cost.

Onelove89, if you are aiming for Monash medicine, then go and do MUFY instead. Monash Uni gives preference to those from their foundation year, such as Melbourne Uni gives preferences to those from Trinity. Like jonathan said, you need 97% average for Monash but 98% average for Trinity.

Lets say 10 people from MUFY get 97% and 10 people get 98% from Trinity (I know the numbers are rather impossible, but you never know). And lets say Monash Uni only takes in 15 students from these foundation programmes. Thus, they will take all 10 from MUFY and only 5 from Trinity, eventhough Trinity's standard is higher.

Think carefully, if you want Medicine and Trinity, work for 98% and go into Biomedicine and then Medicine.

heyo !
i want to go UWA, 2009 if everything goes ok ~

monash fees mbbs: a$42,300/year X 5 years = a$211,500 = rm634,000

fees increases yearly at between 5-10% depending on inflation, so expect to pay eventually more.

melbourne u fees a$33,580/year X6 years = a$327,640 =rm969,000

nb: figure don't tally, because the yearly fee is based on the first 3 years, the clinical years fees is more then a$50K

Wow that is good!!! what course you plan on taking?

architecture, but seee how....maybe work first lolx
currently in melbourne, perth to me is like my hometown
melbourne is like singapore to me lolx

LOL icic... what you currently doing in Melbourne? you stayed here in perth before?

But people, if you guys really want medicine, venture elsewhere. I mean, not anything against medicine here in Australia, but my god sister graduated in UK, studying medicine, and precisely, neurology. Of course figuratively speaking, cost's higher, but if you study well enough in your foundation, you are most likely to be offered a scholarship.

One thing i can teach you about living expenses.

If you can afford it, kudos.

If you want to live on a minimal fee, you HAVE to cook home and resist temptation of buying things elsewhere.

Im working once a week, and i get about $80 per pop, and that $80 gets me grocery that can last me a week. So i'm actually just paying for rent per say. Business student tends to get more time to work albeit more assignment (less lecture hour). I've got a friend that can work up to 20 hours per week, and easily cover up his/her expenses.

Medical student in Monash, first year, 25 lecture/tutorial/interview hours. That includes the time you need to go hospitals.

Quite true... personally i have around 23 hours of lecture/tute as well, and i am working 12 hours a week which gets me around 130bucks which is like what jonathan has said, enough to buy me food and stuff for the week. excluding my rent!

helo,can give any suggestion about actuarial studies/actuarial science in UNSW?cuz i decide to take the course...

correction............you do NOT graduate in "neurology" at undergraduate level.........one gets a general basic degree of mbbs or mb.chb in uk.........

neurology is a subspeciality in medicine, and to become a neurologist, one needs to complete the foundation years (2 years), pass the mrcp (usually 2-3 years later), and complete a semi structured training, and obtain a cst (certificate of specialist training)............the whole process usually takes 7 years minimum, and longer........

I'll email u on UNSW regarding on medic soon thanks.

UWA is a nicer place, i might try to apply for medicine there too.

sry, din know prices will jack up so high >.< dang, things are tight now.

I think his sis has finished up postgraduate? O.o specialist as in.

I'm doing Software Engineering/Commerce with a major in Finance.
Life's ok here, but very hectic. During session, we're pretty much busy all the time because there is a lot of readings and assignments to do. SENG assignments are a killer as they take up a lot of time. As we work on a lot of research projects (yes, even for undergraduates), the stuff is pretty challenging in itself.
Sydney's a beautiful place and I'd say it's not expensive if you're comparing it with Melbourne. However, you might get less Malaysians here than you do in Melbourne.
