Currently more than 315,000 international students are studying in Australia. The great majority come from Asian nations, while others come from countries ranging from Canada to Chile, from the United Kingdom to the United Arab Emirates.
It is not only the superb climate, safe living conditions, cosmopolitan cities and the chance to become more fluent in English that brings students here. They are attracted by world-class teachers, fine facilities and cutting-edge curricula.
Our education system is flexible and offers a wide range of choices to suit all stages of life. So students can start out in the schooling system and then go on to complete vocational or technical training or do a degree that will be accepted worldwide. In fact, Australian graduates can be found among the highest achievers in industries around the globe.
When you choose to undertake your education in Australia you choose quality and innovation, underpinned by a respect for traditions, balanced with an encouragement of independent and creative thinking.
