UK Student wanting to Study in Australia

Hi, I'm from the UK and I'm potentially considering studying a Nursing Degree in Australia. I have been researching funding and scholarships but it's all a bit confusing.
I was wondering if anyone has come from the UK to study in Australia and if they have some advice or guidance on the funding for the degree, please? Or would it be easier for me to obtain my degree here in the UK and then move to Australia?

Thanks!

I feel like it would be easier to get the degree in the U.K. then move to Australia. As Australia is part of the commonwealth it’d be pretty attainable to move there as a nurse and alot of nurses have done so. However if u went to study there it might be costly as I’m not sure if sfe would fund u.

Can you let me know if you find anything out? I am wanting to study Mental Health Nursing in Australia once I have completed by Access to HE in healthcare but it’s way to confusing to actually know how to do it or if it’s even affordable

You have to pay for fees upfront in Aus as an international student or in 3 segments each year. Some universities charge around $40,000 per year for international students, so unless you have that sort of money, I would just stay in uk. Ps I lived and studied over there for about 8 years, pointless as came home and changed my career path, a lot of money (sorta wasted)

Sfe don't finance studies abroad, they will only provide some money if you do a clinical year (as part of your degree) abroad
