Let's talk fees: or how the most beautiful place may also be cheaper! ::
Eric had a post "Let's Talk Tuition" with a great pic of someone burning money. Perhaps the ultimate blasphemy in the West today! His post starts like this:
And, now - because you can't wait - the good news! From next year (Feb 2006 we work with the calendar year since Christmas is our summer holiday) International PhD Students will pay local fees. Now there's a deal you can't beat - without counting all our Lord of the Rings and Narnia scenery!
BTW Both Tyndale-Carey Graduate School and the School of Theology at the University of Auckland teach PhD candidates.

Eric had a post "Let's Talk Tuition" with a great pic of someone burning money. Perhaps the ultimate blasphemy in the West today! His post starts like this:One class costs around $1200. Depending on what holidays fall during the semester you're looking at about $100-$120 per 3 hour lecture.It's time for an message from my employers... In New Zealand fees are around NZ$3,477 per year for PhD students (plus a few extras but say around NZ$4,000 in total. That's around US$2,500 or GB Pounds 1,400 or just a tad over Euros 2,000 for a full year of doctoral study. Living costs are also lower here than most other places in the developed world. And Universities like Auckland regularly rank OK in international comparisons.
