Work While Studying
The option to work while studying is one of the decision-making criteria for prospective international students finalizing their education destination. International students on a valid student visa can work up to 40 hours per fortnight (bi-weekly) during their study session, and full-time during scheduled breaks, such as the summer holidays.
Enjoy a High Quality of Life
Australia and Australian cities consistently rank amongst the most liveable places in the world. Australia’s quality of education, healthcare, transportation, infrastructure, and government services rank well above international averages. According to the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Australia offers the second best quality of life amongst its member countries, which include Canada, USA, UK, and most other European nations. US News 2021 Best Countries Ranking also puts Australia amongst the top ten countries in the world overall, and for quality of life specifically.
Feel Welcome in a Multicultural Society
Australia is a vibrant and welcoming multicultural country which respects, supports, and celebrates cultural, religious, and linguistic diversity. Immigrants represent nearly 60% of Australia’s population growth in the last five years, and make up roughly 25% of the Australian population today. Australians speak over 260 languages, identify with more than 270 ancestries, and proudly celebrate their diversity every year during Australia Day, Australia’s independence day.
Experience the Great Outdoors
A trip to Australia is not complete without experiencing the great Australian outdoors. Australia is home to many breathtaking sights, stunning landscapes, and natural wonders, including the Great Barrier Reef, which is the only living thing on Earth that is visible from space, and exotic wildlife, with many species found nowhere else in the world. Exploring the world’s largest sand island, sunbathing and surfing in Australia’s 1,000+ beaches, hiking in some of the world’s largest National Parks, and swimming with marine wildlife are just some of the unforgettable experiences students can immerse in while they study in Australia.
Improve Job Prospects After Graduation
Australian degrees are recognized and respected globally. Whether the student chooses to apply for work in Australia with a Temporary Graduate Visa, or return to their home country, an Australian education will open many doors for them. The government’s Australian Global Alumni program further helps graduates connect with alumni globally to support their professional growth.
