Why Australia?

Six of the world’s top 100 universities.


Many of our institutions moved their courses online in early 2020 to provide
students with a flexible and remote learning environment.

Compared to universities such as the UK’s Oxford or the US’s Harvard, our education
institutions are relatively young but they are among the best. The Times Higher
Education World University Rankings 2020 rank the University of Melbourne, Australian
National University, University of Sydney, University of Queensland, University of New
South Wales and Monash University among the top 100 universities in the world.

One of the best higher education systems in the world.

In Australia, there is a world-class higher education system. We have over 22,000 courses across 1,100 institutions, ranking 8th in the 2019 Universitas U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems, higher than France, Germany, Norway and Japan.

An emphasis on student experience and graduate outcomes.


According to the 2018 Department of Education International Student Survey, almost 90% of international students are satisfied with their living and studying experience in Australia.

According to Study Australia, more than 80% of onshore students intend to finish their studies in Australia, indicating their satisfaction with the quality of their education.

7 of the best student cities in the world are in Australia.

We already knew our cities were great places to live and study but now it’s official! According to QS Best Student Cities 2019, almost all of our major cities – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth and the Gold Coast – are in the world’s top 100 student cities.

A $300 million investment from government in scholarships for international students.

Australia offered over 3,000 Australia Awards scholarships and short courses to students from over 55 countries in 2019.

The Australian Government has also offered a range of support and flexibility options (for visas, for example) to help onshore students cope with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
