DREAM TO STUDY IN AUSTRALIA
Why Study in Australia?
There are many reasons why more than 340,000 students from around the world choose to study in Australia every year. There is a wide range of courses and disciplines offered by Australian institutions. Australian courses are of a very high quality and are recognized around the world. Major employers around the world recognize Australian qualifications and employ graduates with Australian qualifications. The cost of living and tuition fees compare well with other countries. A recent Government study found that total costs (tuition fees and living costs) in the US and UK are more expensive compared to Australia. Australia has strict laws that ensure all courses offered to international students are of a high standard and that your tuition fees are protected. Australia has a very low crime rate and is safe compared to almost all other countries in the world. Australia has a dynamic and harmonious multicultural society. You will feel most welcome in Australia, as people are very friendly and warm. With more than 340,000 international students in Australia each year, many institutions have strong international student associations. Australia has a long history of teaching international students and Australian institutions are sensitive to your cultural and religious needs as an international student. You will find Australian schools, colleges and universities provide support services to help you adjust to your new environment, living in Australia and successfully completing your studies. Students on a student visa can work while studying in Australia. During semester, you can work up to 20 hours per week and during vacation, you can work full time. Many colleges and universities offer a student employment service to help you find work. There is more to it than Kangaroos…. When people from other countries think of Australia, they tend to think of koalas, kangaroos, wide-open spaces, and clean air and water – Paradise! All this is true, however, Australia is also a technologically advanced country. Australia is at the forefront of producing new high-tech equipment and responsible for many advances in the telecommunications, information technology, manufacturing, mining and agricultural industries. Australian scientists and researchers have also made significant contributions to medical science. Without Australia’s research and development of the uses of penicillin, cures for a number of previously incurable diseases would not have developed so rapidly. Did you know that everyday items such as the photocopier, air conditioning in the car and the black box which is found in every commercial airplane are all Australian developments? Australia is among the top ten largest spenders in research and development and is internationally recognized in a number of fields for outstanding achievements. Australia produces approximately 2 percent of the world’s scientific research papers, placing it on a per capita basis ranking with the United States and the United Kingdom. The high proportion of Australians receiving Nobel prizes proves the high standards and creativity achieved. For a population of only 19 million you may be surprised to learn seven Australians have received Nobel Prizes in the fields of science and medicine alone. Unlike many other countries, Australian higher education institutions are regulated at the Federal level ensuring that students receive a high standard of education. The performances of institutions are examined annually ensuring all universities are maintaining the high standards required by the Australian Government. The benefit of having a small number of institutions ensures that standards are closely and regularly monitored and maintained. A number of surveys conducted by influential international magazines examining universities in the Asia/Pacific region have identified something Australians have known and been proud of for a long time – Australian institutions provide a very high standard of education. A recent survey conducted by an influential international magazine, Asia week, ranking universities in the Asia Pacific region rated two Australian universities in the top ten. Australia with eight institutions in the top fifty had more than any of the other 15 countries surveyed including Japan and Korea. You may not be aware that Australia is also a leader in MBAs and other business courses. Three Australian universities appear in the top ten in Asia Inc’s list of the best business schools in the region with Australia taking first and second place. Nine Australian MBA programs were listed in the top 25. A small population demands Australian companies be more export-oriented than most nations in order to take advantage of economies of scale. Australia, as a relatively ‘young’ country, has to be more ingenuous to compete with larger and longer established countries. As you can see Australia, although a relatively young country when compared to many others, has much to offer in regards to education and training to broaden your horizons.
