This is the question that every student, every parent, or every guardian think for themselves or for their children, therefore in this blog, I am going to demonstrate the attributes of two countries that are New Zealand and Australia, which will guide you about which country is better for higher education.
Fees Structure in Higher Education:
New Zealand:
Fees structure is the first aspect that comes in every individual’s mind so let’s talk about it first. The fees structure for doing bachelor’s from NZ universities is 4,100 to 6,100 EUR/year that becomes 4,782 to 7,115 US Dollars/Year, whereas for doing Masters from NZ universities is 7,300 to 10,500 EUR/year which becomes 8,514 to 12,247 US Dollars/year and for PhD 3,700 to 5,100 EUR/year which becomes 4,315 to 5,948 US Dollars/year.
Australia:
Well on the other side the fees structure for doing bachelor’s from Australian universities is 15,000 to 33,000 US Dollars/year. Whereas the fees structure for doing Masters is 20,000 to 37,000 US Dollars/year and the fees structure for doing any doctoral degree is 14,000 to 37,000 US Dollars/Year.

With the analysis of the fees structure, it can be observed that the fees structure of the NZ is low than the Australia, so if you are planning to study in the Australia or New Zealand these are the cost structure that will help you in deciding, which one is best.
Courses Offered:
Australia:
The next important thing that you might have thought at some point in your life is that what are the courses that universities of New Zealand or Australia offer in their higher education, so let’s talk about that. There are 43 total universities in Australia that provide vast variety of courses in higher education from science to management and commerce, from Engineering to humanities, and from health sciences to law. Therefore, if you have a unique choice of interest you will easily find it in Australian higher education. Due to vast variety of universities and courses offered, student can easily choose the best course that would benefit them in their future (professional) life.
New Zealand:
On the other hand, if we talk about the New Zealand higher education, since New Zealand is the small country so the number of universities in it are 8 in total. Whereas, the courses offered in New Zealand universities are Technology, science, engineering, business management, mathematics, digital design, fashion & design, and food & hospitality. In New Zealand, students are bound to take the courses offered by the New Zealand universities for higher education.
Concluding Point:
According to the above analysis, It looks like Australia has win this aspect as they offer more courses and have more universities than New Zealand So if your are thinking for higher education in one of these countries with respect to courses offered than Australia is best for you. The reason is that with vast variety of courses it would be easy for you to choose which course is best for you.
Quality of Education:
New Zealand:
Although New Zealand does not have much courses to offer but the quality of New Zealand higher education system is beyond comparison and the primary reason is the ministry of higher education in New Zealand that has developed the goals and curriculum for higher education. Whereas, the New Zealand Qualification Authority ensures that the quality of the education provided by the professors and teachers in higher education is best. I myself have graduated from New Zealand University and believe me, the professors are supportive as they help with my assignment and guide me in practically in every course. One more thing, New Zealand universities are more focused on practical learning then theoretical learning, as they believe this will help the students in their professional life.
Australia:
On the other hand, if we talk about Australia, the quality of higher education in their universities is also best and the major reason is their national regulatory and quality agency that take care of the higher education. Among other aspects, there are three main components that national regulatory and quality agencies are focused on and that are the well-being of all domestic and international students, the quality of students’ education experience, and the up-to-date and accurate education in the higher education level. Whereas, in Australia there are some individual entities who provide best coursework writing service that help the students in catering the courses easily and effectively.
Concluding Point:
With the help of above analysis regarding the Quality of Education, we can observe that there is a tight competition between New Zealand education system and Australia Education system, so it’s up to you for choosing the country for higher education because to me they both look equal, competitive and concerning the quality, Universities in these both countries will provide the best quality education to domestic and international students.
Strictness and Discipline:
New Zealand:
Since New Zealand have lower number of students in the higher education institutions so, it is easy for the New Zealand education system to make strictness and discipline in the class and within the student. This is the reason the every student in every New Zealand is well discipline in the class, whereas, Due to this reason, New Zealand has 99% literacy rate.
Australia:
On the other hand, Australia is a larger country which contain large number of universities and large number of students so it often difficult for the Australian Education system to develop discipline within the students. However, Australia still has the 99% literacy rate due to the large number of graduates and masters.
Concluding Point:
Well according to the fact stated above, it clearly shows that New Zealand is best concerning the Discipline and all as there are lower number of student enrolled for higher education so it would be easy for you to study there with peaceful environment.
