In Australia, the assignments, quizzes, tasks etc starts after the second week of the semester, whereas in Germany as told before you only have to give exams at the end of the semester. In Australia, assignments and tasks also add up as marks and have a contribution to your final marks. So, you have to study hard throughout your semester but in Germany, you don't.

Cost of living is another factor which will affect your decision in choosing the country. Also, the cost of study in Australia is around 30k Dollars per Year, whereas as you know most of the public German universities are free. So this is a very big plus point. 

Now if we consider the cost of living in Australia vs Germany, in Australia it will be around 2k to 3k Dollars, In Germany, it will cost you around 700 euros to 900 euros. I will say that it totally depends upon the individual that what kind of lifestyle he has.

4. Living Environment

The weather is changing every time in Australia but mostly it will be sunny. Whereas in Germany, you will find most of the time its raining or cold. 

People in Germany do not open up that easily, they are a little bit cold from nature. But in Australia, people open up with you no matter what background you come from. I am not saying that you can't make German friends but yeah its little bit difficult. 

So these were my views on Studying in Australia vs Germany. From my point of view, Both the countries are good, Germany has a bit more advantage.
