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 />
