Australia is one of the most expensive countries in the world when it comes to higher education.

It's no surprise that 90 per cent of its eligible students take up a loan to pay for university. There are different types of loans, as well as scholarships, to assist students with their fees. In Australia, a three-year undergraduate degree costs about $32,000. Not many people can pay upfront.
