Australia - An Ideal
Study Destination

In the past decade Australia has emerged as a leading provider of top quality education to international students from all over the world.Around 85% of the Indian students studying in Australia are undertaking higher education in the fields of Information Technology, Engineering, Management, Accounting, Applied Science and Hospitality. However, new fields of study such as Biotechnology, Communication Studies and Art & Design are emerging.
 
Why do so many Indian Students choose to study in Australia?

There are many reasons why Australia has become a favourite study destination for Indian students considering study abroad:

  • Australia has a proven reputation as a provider of high quality education to international students generally and in India there is growing awareness of the quality and variety of Australian courses and qualifications.
  • Many students are attracted
    by the flexibilities afforded by the Australian Qualification Framework, which sets out 12 levels of qualifications across the three educational sectors - school, university and vocational education and training. Qualifications are awarded only after the achievement of competency standards. Once achieved, students can progress through different levels of qualifications, regardless of the sector in which they were achieved, thus providing many different pathways between different levels.
  • Australia is a safe and welcoming destination, proud of its own enormous cultural diversity.
  • The interests of international students in Australia are protected by Australian government legislation - the Education Services for Overseas Students Act. Only institutions which are registered by the Australian Government can recruit students from overseas.
  • The costs of studying in Australia compare favourably with traditional destinations for Indian students, such as the USA and Britain.
