Why Choose Australia

When choosing a study destination overseas there are a number of important things to think about before reaching your decision. Australia has a world-class education and training system, which welcomes students from other countries.

Students from all around the world have long made Australia their education destination. Latest Enrolment data for 2007 reflects that over 455,000 international students drawn from more than 217 different countries were undertaking an Australian qualification in Australia. These students chose an Australian education for a number of reasons: its reputation for excellence and world-wide recognition; the safety and stability of the Australian society; Australia's enviable standard of living – one of the highest in the world; and Australia's multicultural community which helps international students feel at home.

Asia remains Australia's main source of international students, representing more than four out of every five of Australia's overseas student market. The region was the main source of Australia's international student market with strong growth recorded from the top four source nationalities. Growth in enrolments was mostly from India (63.9% between 2006 and 2007), China (18.9%), Thailand (11.9%) and the Republic of Korea (11.3%).

About Australia

Australia is so big and diverse that it could never merely be the sum of its icons. The stunning architecture of the Sydney Opera House, the glow of Uluru (Ayers Rock) at dusk, a wave curled above a colorful reef – these are only part of the experience that unfolds once your feet touch the soil of this awesome country-continent.

Australia's natural beauty is one of its biggest attractions. The landscape varies from endless sunbaked horizons to tropical rainforests to chilly southern beaches. Its cities blend an enthusiasm for art and food with a love of sport and the outdoors. Visitors will have to re-think their grasp of geography in this huge country. The sheer vastness gives Australia– and its diverse population – much of its character.

Many things about this far away island are different, even the things that sound familiar. You may have visited remote places, but not the sublime isolation of the outback, with its dazzling salt pans and sandstone towers. You would have encountered wildlife, but when did you last ride a camel among desert oak trees or have your camp site visited by a Tasmanian devil? Perhaps you've enjoyed seafood, but here you'll taste barramundi fish and delicious shellfish.

From rainforest trails to fascinating museums, vibrant multicultural cities to a love of sport, Australia is unique.

Australia offers a unique experience for students. Apart from a world-class education system, the opportunities to get involved in daily life are endless: whether you're into the arts or sport, partying or book clubs, the great outdoors or cozy cafés, you'll find many ways to join in and have fun. So if you want to get an education and have a life, it really is the place to be.

The Australian education institutions offer a broad spectrum of courses ranging from English language training at school to advanced areas of post-doctoral work. There are also opportunities for international students to undertake study or research in Australia through award and exchange arrangements. Flexible programs of study, which can combine English language courses with study in other fields, are also available to cater to the diverse needs of international students.

Australia compares very favorably with other more traditional destinations considered by international students.

Below are some of the reasons to help you in your final decision - which may well be one of the most important decisions in your career.

2) Degrees, diplomas and other awards receive worldwide recognition.

Australia is strongly promoted as a multi-cultural society and has become home to a wide variety of citizens from numerous ethnic backgrounds.
