Studying abroad in Australia can be experienced for as little as about one week. Locally, you’ll need to cover language school tuition, accommodation costs, and living expenses. Before departure, you’ll also need to apply for an ETAS (electronic visa), a passport, and book your flight.

If you’re staying for around a week, the cost starts from approximately 320,000 yen, making it ideal for those who want to experience the atmosphere of Australia or try studying abroad for the first time.
