I am an international student in US, paying 30000 usd tuition a year. I am just wondering will it be cheaper to go for a UK grad school after my bachelor degree?

Depends on if you are going after your masters or PhD. If it just a masters, then it is definitely cheaper to go to the UK because it only takes about 1 year. In the US, it takes 2-3 years on average. So even if tuition is higher (I'm not sure if it is or not), you are paying for less years. However, I'm not sure about PhD costs in the US vs the UK.

Can´t think why you would want to, unless you could get into Cambridge or Oxford, because otherwise, you wouldn´t be getting as good an education. US has the best Universities, overall, in the world. There are only a few exceptions...Cambridge and Oxford, Sorbonne, and a couple of others. And, no...a Master´s in the US does NOT take 2 - 3 years! Not unless you are going part time! And in the UK, a Masters is included in the five year degree, like the rest of Europe, is it not? a Master´s in the US only takes a year, if done correctly, to possibly 3 semesters. But where you go is going to be up to your interests, too. And, if you have been earning and saving USdollars, then Britain is going to be PRETTY pricey! If your money is from some other country, you might be better off in Britain...so many questions to figure out!

Well what you're currently paying depends on the university in which you're studying. I don't pay that much tuition at my university here in the US, but then again, I'm an undergrad. I definitely know that it is very expensive for law and med school here. It really depends on what you're going to grad school for. Like the other person wrote, what you're studying determines how many years you'll be there. I definitely think that it's cheaper in the UK. Check out this website: www.gradschoolsabroad.com.

My former mentor used to maintain that it is best to read for an MA in the UK and for a PhD in the USA. I still believe that he gave me the best piece of advice ever, regardless of the cost! Nowadays, Scandinavian countries, Sweden in particular, are also offering less expensive though just as efficient training as their couinterparts both in Europe and across the Atlantic. And there the girls have such wonderful complexions! Good Luck!
