For US on the other hand, it's different than the rest.Cost wise Canada is the cheapest while Australia, U.S, Europe and even the U.K are on the expensive side. The master's degree in the U.K. is normally a one year program, while generally across the world getting a master's degree is a 2 year program. The undergraduate courses are 4 years long in the U.S, while in other countries they're mostly between 3-4 years.
