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.

Apart from the numerous scholarships offered by several Australian Universities to international students, Australia offers a diverse range of study options, with over 1,200 institutions and over 22,000 courses to choose from.
You can choose a course in science, management, tourism, hospitality, commerce, humanities, engineering, law, or health sciences. Whatever you choose, you will get the best because Australian institutions are among the best in the world, particularly in engineering and technology, medicine, nursing, environmental science, accounting, and finance.
Undergraduate, postgraduate, and research courses are all available. You can also apply for package courses, which include a certificate+ diploma that leads to an undergraduate degree and graduate diplomas that lead to postgraduate degrees.
To study in Australia, you must apply for admission to an institution through one of the university’s authorised representatives (who will provide free expert advice) and apply for a student visa from the Australian Government.
The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) is an acronym for Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students. As an international student on a student visa, you must study at a CRICOS-registered institution and in a CRICOS-registered course, as this registration ensures that the course and the institution at which you wish to study meet the high standards expected of international students studying in Australia.
The cost of studying in Australia is primarily determined by the institution’s ranking and the level of study selected. The total cost includes tuition as well as living and housing expenses. There may be an additional cost for course materials and access to institution facilities on occasion.
The Australian Government, educational institutions, and a variety of other public and private organisations provide numerous scholarships, grants, and bursaries to international students studying in Australia.
Most student visas allow you to work up to 20 hours per week while your course is in session, and up to an unlimited number of hours during your vacation.
The student visa requirements depend on your course of study and certain other significant requirements like an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) certificate, the Genuine Temporary Entrant requirement, sufficient funds, English language proficiency, health and character requirements and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
