Study in Australia<br />
Australian universities offer a stimulating environment<br />
for students from around the world to gain valuable skills,<br />
experience and qualifications.<br />
Australia has an international reputation<br />
for excellence in all areas of education<br />
and training. Australian universities are<br />
widely recognized for excellence in<br />
many disciplines, and institutions deliver<br />
practical and career-oriented training so<br />
graduates can be confident they have<br />
the skills demanded by employers.<br />
Australian universities offer a<br />
stimulating environment for students<br />
from around the world to gain valuable<br />
skills, experiences and qualifications.<br />
<strong>International</strong> students from over 180<br />
countries enroll in higher education<br />
courses in Australia, preparing to<br />
launch their careers around the world.<br />
<strong>International</strong>ization of higher education<br />
and research is of great importance<br />
globally, and Australian universities are<br />
major participants in international<br />
education and research projects and<br />
initiatives. <strong>The</strong>y recruit academic staff<br />
from around the world who are leading<br />
experts in their fields.<br />
Higher education in Australia is made<br />
up of two sectors: the university<br />
sector and the vocational education<br />
sector, both comprising public and<br />
private institutions. You can choose<br />
from a vast range of courses including<br />
traditional academic areas of learning<br />
and research, as well as more practical<br />
courses with a vocational orientation.<br />
Each of Australia’s universities and<br />
vocational colleges has its own<br />
strengths and areas of specialization,<br />
giving you a wide choice and access<br />
to the latest technology and research<br />
in your chosen field.<br />
Bachelor degrees generally take<br />
three years to complete, although<br />
specialised degrees such as Medicine<br />
or Engineering can take from four to<br />
six years. <strong>International</strong> students are<br />
required to study full–time under the<br />
Australian government’s student<br />
visa regulations.<br />
In Australia, students take an<br />
active role in the learning process.<br />
<strong>Universities</strong> place great importance on<br />
developing the ability to think creatively<br />
and independently, read widely and<br />
critically, participate in debate and<br />
function in teams. <strong>The</strong>se skills will<br />
give you an edge in a competitive<br />
and ever-changing world.<br />
Australian students enjoy balancing<br />
study commitments with leisure time<br />
spent outdoors enjoying the fresh air<br />
and often-warm weather. <strong>The</strong> rewards<br />
of studying at an Australian university<br />
are endless. Develop your potential<br />
in an innovative, flexible, yet supportive<br />
learning environment while you enjoy<br />
Australia’s unique environment.<br />
Gain an internationally recognized<br />
qualification that will open doors for<br />
your future.<br />
Australian universities will challenge<br />
and reward you academically,<br />
personally and professionally.<br />
