Thinking of studying abroad? Let our overview of why you should consider studying in Australia help
you choose the destination that’s right for you.

Standard & Quality of Education

A global leader in technology and economics, Australian education is not only of an incredibly high
standard but offers study options across all study levels, in virtually any study field. With over 1,200
institutions that boast over 22,000 courses, Australia’s higher education system was named the
8 Th  best in the world.
 
Australian universities are incredibly flexible in their degree options, allowing students to manage
and spread out their study credits around part-time work or other commitments.  Most Australian
universities have a range of double degree options that enable students to undertake subjects
across a wide range of subject areas, taking the pressure off them in streamlining their interests so
early in their academic and professional career. Graduates enjoy a broader education, and enter the
workplace with a range of transferable skills and unique academic maturity that is widely sought out
by employers around the world.

Quality assurance and international recognition

Australian higher education is thoroughly regulated and managed by a number of quality assurance
bodies. The Educational Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) provides the most thorough
protection for international students than any other study abroad destination in the world, ensures
students whose tuition needs have not been met are able to complete their studies at another
institution or within another course, or else receive a refund of their tuition fees. International
students contribute strongly to the Australian economy, and so the government takes special interest
in protecting their rights.

Quality of life

Aside from its academic prowess, Australia’s consistent high marks in international quality of life and
happiness surveys make it easy to see why the nation is nicknamed ‘the lucky country. With
emerging, unique cities that are just hours from some of the world’s more unique landscapes,
studying in Australia offers a student lifestyle unmatched by anywhere else in the world. Unlike many
other student cultures, it is unusual for students to live on campus, and so you’ll be encouraged to
take initiative in engaging with university life and developing a sense of independence from the get-
go. Australian culture strongly favors travel and open-mindedness, with the cosmopolitan pulse of
the nation’s cities sporting students from all over.
