Question 1

Which country is cheaper for Nepali students , Australia or UK?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the course and city. UK master's programmes are often 1 year (vs 1.5-2 years in Australia), so total cost can be lower. However, Australia offers more post-study work time and part-time work hours (48 hrs/fortnight vs 20 hrs/week in UK). The tool compares both in NPR so you can see the full picture.

Question 2

Is Duolingo accepted for both countries?

Accepted Answer

Duolingo English Test is accepted for the UK Student Route visa (SELT approved since 2024) but is NOT accepted for Australia's Subclass 500 visa. For Australia, you must use IELTS or PTE Academic.

Question 3

Which country is easier to get PR in after studying?

Accepted Answer

Australia generally offers more structured pathways to permanent residency through skilled migration visas, especially for in-demand occupations. The UK's post-study Graduate Route visa lasts 18 months but does not directly lead to settlement. The tool provides a detailed comparison of both pathways.
