The Australian system is similar to the New Zealand system mentioned by Avelaps. The overwhelming majority of Universities are government operated and are subsidised. There is a fee, that can be paid upfront or be deferred to be paid through the tax system after you graduate. In effect it's cheap(er) education with a loan system that: - Is interest free, but indexed at CPI - Does not survive death (i.e. your debt disappears when you die) - Is only repayable once you reach a specified level of income.
