Why Study in Australia?

Australia is one of the world’s top study destinations for international students. 

For many years, Australian universities have ranked among the best in the world for quality education, student satisfaction and overall global reputation. 

In fact, nine of the world’s top 100 universities are in Australia, including three in the top 20 (QS World University rankings).

Your Australian qualification can open up global career opportunities.

Graduates of Australian courses are in demand. Employers in Australia and worldwide know that Australian qualifications are current, industry-relevant and of a world-class standard.

International students from all over the world are welcomed by Australia’s friendly, vibrant and multicultural communities.

Australia is a popular destination for international students because of its reputation as a safe and welcoming place to live and study.

Australia's culturally diverse communities make it a special place to live. Almost a third of the population was born overseas and 23 per cent speak a language other than English at home.

When you study in Australia, you will also join a vibrant international student community. More than half a million international students from 192 countries choose to study in Australia.
