study abroad experience - Australia

Under certain conditions it is possible to receive grants for a semester abroad. I
received BaföG abroad and a PROMOS scholarship.
The amount of the monthly study abroad Bafög was higher than usual, because it
includeds a grant for flight €1,000 and the study costs.
in $AU in €
PROMOS (scholarship) 1,964 € 1,200
BaföG (monthly €1,857) 12,155 € 7,428
14,119 8,628
This list is only a rough overview of the costs and does not include all actual costs. Of
course, it depends on the respective needs. I tried to save money on the apartment
and the cost of living and spent more money for travel and entrance fees. It is
allowed to work with the student visa to give you some extra money and experiences.
The minimum wage is around $ AU 20. Student jobs are easy and straightforward to
find.
Without the scholarships I received, it would have been significantly more difficult for
me. However, I also see the semester abroad as an investment in my future. In the
end, everyone has to decide for themselves whether it's worth it or not.
