Explore Australia—Study, Work, Travel!

A truly beautiful country, Australia has a high standard of living and an enviable lifestyle. Australians are very welcoming to tourists, and are friendly and enjoy a wonderful work-life balance. In the past decade, the Australian economy has boomed and the country offers very favourable work opportunities, with wages that are on par with the best in the world. The country is blessed with some of the most beautiful scenic landscapes and nature’s bounty, and travellers can make the most of the golden beaches, lush rainforests, sun-kissed deserts and teeming cities. For all these reasons, Australia is among the most popular tourist destinations worldwide.

Backpacking

The Australian Government offers a Work & Travel visa, that offers young people the opportunity to support themselves by working while they travel across the country. You can undertake jobs on farms, in restaurants and fast food outlets, in retail stores and so on in order to make money for your travel. This is a very appealing option for students who are taking a gap year from their studies and wish to gain a different perspective on life. Most students who use this visa like to travel alone and make friends on the way. They can explore the countryside by backpacking and trekking, and can camp, or stay in youth hostels wherever they are available.

Students can also use this visa to undertake (unpaid) internships, and this is a great way to gain valuable work experience in their chosen profession. The Work and Travel visa has an age restriction for applications (only people between 18 and 31 can apply), and is also limited in time duration.

Many students opt to study in Australia because of the high quality of education and the excellent research facilities and infrastructure. Study programs range from short term professional courses to undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral degrees.

Students who are enrolled at these universities can take advantage of the study breaks and vacation time to travel and explore the surrounding areas.
