Want to study in Australia?
Why choose Australia?
Australia offers one of the highest living standards in the world and has five of the 30 best cities in the world for students, with the right balance of student mix, affordability and quality of life. Australia has the third highest number of international students in the world after the United kingdom and the United States and is a leading destination for world class education and global career opportunities. Australian universities are renowned internationally and Australia has seven of the top 100 universities in the world.
International students have access to a wide range of study options and have a choice of 1200 institutions and 22,000 courses. Student visas are available for all levels of education, starting from primary and secondary school and extending to vocational education and training (VET), English language courses and higher education (including universities).
The Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2007 (National Code) ensure that international students receive quality education and an enriching study experience in Australia, irrespective of their choice of subject or duration of the course.
What sets Australian Universities apart from the others is the focus on holistic learning underpinned by in depth practical experience. This emphasis on job ready skills ensures that upon graduation, students are ready to enter the workforce.
Students from non -English speaking backgrounds are able to improve their verbal and written skills through English Language courses offered by the Universities. Studying in Australia immerses students in an English speaking environment and offers them endless opportunities to practise their written and spoken English skills on a daily basis. This is a great advantage for those planning to apply for a permanent visa and settle in Australia as it considerably increases their chances of passing the Language Requirement Test.
Australia also allows international students to work while studying, a big deciding factor for many students, as students get international work exposure. International students on a student visa are able to work 20 hours every week during semesters and unlimited hours during semester breaks.
Studying in Australia can also open up potential pathways for temporary or permanent residency in the the future.
