Why study in Australia?

It may be the mystique of snow skiing one day and scuba diving the next that lures you to Australia to study. Or perhaps, the excitement of becoming a member of the Australian research teams which are breaking new ground in immunology, scientific instrumentation, plant biotechnology and solar engineering. Whatever the attraction, Australia promises to meet your expectations as a world class education destination.

Australia has an internationally recognised education and training system which is the first choice of many international students. Education is one of Australia's major export markets and Australian laws ensure that courses offered meet high standards and that your fees are protected.

Australia enjoys a world-wide reputation of being a safe multi-cultural country, free from political unrest. English is the national language and it is proud of our open and friendly culture and it welcomes over 160,000 international students and 4.9 million tourists each year.

The cost of studying in Australia (including tuition fees and living expenses) is much less than the US, Canada and UK. Students on student visas are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during semester and full-time during vacations to make studying in Australia even more affordable and enriching.
