That sounds reasonable
Then let's come to study necessities
I mean textbooks and stationery items
How much do they cost per year
Well
I don't think students should rush into buying expensive textbooks
It is advisable to wait until your first lectures and tutorial
And then ask academic staff which are the essential purchases
There is usually a second-hand bookshop on campus
And used books are also advertised on faculty notice boards
As for stationery
The Students' Union coordinates a number of outlets on the various equipment at reasonable prices
Some courses require specialized equipment which can be quite costly
And it is wise to check any additional costs involved with the courses of your choice
In general
Those practically orientated courses tend to incur higher additional costs
Expenses for books
Stationery
And equipment vary greatly
But you should allow approximately 500 to 1000 Australian dollars a year
