1. It’s great to hear you’re considering studying in Australia! Here are some insights to help you with your plans:

   1. Famous Colleges for Political Science or International Relations:
   2. Australian National University (ANU): Located in Canberra, ANU is renowned for its research and programs in political science and international relations. Required grades vary, but generally, a high ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) or equivalent is needed for entry.
   3. University of Sydney: Another prestigious institution, Sydney offers a comprehensive program in political science and international studies. Look for an ATAR around 90 or equivalent.
   4. University of Melbourne: Known for its strong focus on global studies, Melbourne’s political science program is highly regarded. Similar ATAR guidelines apply.
   5. University of Queensland (UQ): UQ is well-known for its research in social sciences, including international relations. Entry requirements typically involve a solid academic performance.

   6. Monash University: Particularly recognized for its global and international studies, Monash also has competitive entry requirements.

   7. Process for Entering an Australian University:

   8. Research Courses and Universities: Find programs that align with your interests in political science or international relations. Check their specific entry requirements.
   9. Meet Eligibility Requirements: Ensure you have the necessary qualifications. For applicants from Korea, this often requires proof of secondary education (like the Korean high school diploma) and an equivalent score to the Australian ATAR.
   10. English Language Proficiency: Most universities require proof of English proficiency, typically through tests like IELTS or TOEFL. Check specific score requirements for each institution.
   11. Submit an Application: Apply through the university’s online portal or through centralized application services like UAC (for New South Wales and ACT) or VTAC (for Victoria).
   12. Receive an Offer: If accepted, you will receive a letter of offer that you need to accept formally.
   13. Visa Application: Once you have accepted an offer, apply for a student visa (subclass 500). You’ll need to provide proof of enrollment, financial means, and possibly health insurance.

   14. Prepare for Departure: Organize accommodation, travel arrangements, and any necessary documentation for your time in Australia.

   15. Cost of Living in Australia as an International Student:

   16. The cost of living can vary significantly depending on your location. On average, you should budget around AUD 15,000 to AUD 20,000 per year for living expenses.
   17. This includes accommodation (options can range from AUD 120 to AUD 400 per week), food, transportation, and personal expenses.
   18. Major cities like Sydney and Melbourne are generally more expensive, while cities like Brisbane or Adelaide might be more affordable.
   19. Don’t forget to consider additional expenses such as health insurance (which is mandatory for international students), textbooks, and other educational resources.

   I hope this helps, and best of luck with your future studies in Australia!
