they have these government loans which you pay back when your income reaches a certain level, so you end up paying about 50% of the costs of your course (rest by taxpayers). there is a VERY lucrative market here of attracting international (mostly south-east asians) to our universities and they are all all charged full-fees, about 20,000 dollars a year. i agree its crazy......
