Band 6+: The table below shows the postgraduate course fees in US Dollars that international students paid in three countries in 2007. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The table compares how much international students paid for four different postgraduate courses as well as some living expenses in three countries in 2007.

Overall, country A offered the cheapest postgraduate courses, and it was also the country where the cost of living in terms of meals and accommodation was lowest. Furthermore, science programs including Computing and Science were more expensive than social studies like Arts and Commerce in all countries studied.

In detail, the costs of postgraduate degree courses on Arts and Commerce were identical for any particular country, only varying from country to country. They both cost 8,000 in country A, which was more than twice expensive in countries B and C, at over 18,000.

In contrast, Computing and Science postgraduate programs were relatively pricy. In country A, the cost of each program was 11,000 while in country B and C they cost as cheap as around 24,000 and as much as 29,000.

Postgraduate international students also had some living expenses to cover. If they decided to live in country A, they would have to spend only 8,000, compared to more than twice this amount in country B (17,000). The cost of living in country C, however, was moderate, with visiting postgraduate students expending only 11,000.
