Reasons why you should select Australia as your study destination

Did you know Australia is consistently ranked in the world’s Top 10 most liveable countries? Australia is blessed with natural wonders, with more than 17 world heritage listed sites and their diverse environment is matched by the broad culture mix of over 200 cultures, speaking more than 260 different languages. Australia is known globally as being one of the world’s most diverse and welcoming countries. In fact, of Australia’s 23 million population, almost half (47%) of all Australians were either born overseas or have one parent born overseas.

Did you know Australia has the third highest number of international students in the world behind only the United Kingdom and the United States despite having a population of only 23 million? This isn’t surprising when you consider Australia has seven of the top 100 universities in the world! In fact, with over 22,000 courses across 1,100 institutions, Australia sits above the likes of Germany, the Netherlands and Japan, ranking eighth in the Universities 2012 U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems.

These are strong academic credentials, but Australian institutions are just as highly rated as the cities that house them around the country. Australia has five of the 30 best cities in the world for students based on student mix, affordability, quality of life, and employer activity – all important elements for students when choosing the best study destination. And with more than A$200 million provided by the Australian Government each year in international scholarships, we’re making it easier for you to come and experience the difference an Australian education can make to your future career opportunities.

Do you have a specific study area of interest? Australian universities feature in the Top 50 ranked universities in the world in the following areas; Arts & Humanities, Clinical, Pre-clinical & Health, Engineering & Technology, Life Science, Physical Science, & Social Science.

Given this impressive education pedigree, it’s not surprising there are now more than 2.5 million former international students who have gone on to make a difference after studying in Australia. Some of these students are among the world’s finest minds. In fact, Australia has produced 15 Nobel prize laureates and every day over 1 billion people around the world rely on Australian discoveries and innovations – including penicillin, IVF, ultrasound, Wi- Fi, the Bionic Ear, Cervical cancer vaccine and Black Box Flight Recorders – to make their lives, and the lives of others, better.
