Question: Would you say that Ireland is a better and cheaper place to study science rather than Australia?

James Brown answered on 15 Nov 2022:

Good question. Probably not, maybe? Both are good choices- in Australia (as a citizen) yo get grants to pay for your degree (pay back out of your future paycheques). In Aus the degrees are only 3 years- and they re very high quality (like Ireland), but you are finished a year earlier so can work faster.
I’m biased to Aus just because of the shorter degree and better weather- both graduates from both countries are very very well thought of overseas! Cant go wrong with either.
