Top Reasons Why You Should Make Australia Your Study Destination
After the US and the UK, Australia is currently the third most sought-after location for overseas students in the English-speaking world. Numerous international students prefer to study in Australia due to the rich cultural diversity, hospitable locals, and excellent educational opportunities.
Australia is much more than just kangaroos and the great outdoors, having 8 of the top 100 universities in the world! A growing number of Indian students are choosing to study abroad in Australia due to the country’s top-notch education, abundant post-study employment prospects, and high standard of life. You can be assured of unmatched academic achievement and an excellent support system for international students, regardless of the subject you choose to enrol in.
There are plentiful reasons why you should choose Australia as a study destination, and here we will explore some of them.
The favourite location for Indian university students
Australia is one of the most sought-after locations among Indian students due to its high standard of instruction, wide range of available courses, and post-study employment opportunities. When you choose to study in Australia, you can select from among 22,000 courses offered at 1,100 colleges and institutes, earn degrees that are recognised across the world, look into different scholarship options, and learn from some of the top professors in the world.
International recognition of qualifications
Australian universities are famous for their research and training approaches, and Australian credentials are widely recognised. Seven Australian institutions regularly ranked in the top 100 of the QS World Ranking and Times Higher Education Rankings, demonstrating the intellectual superiority of their teaching pedagogy.
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), a national policy put in place in 1995 that specifies standards of qualifications from the tertiary education sector (higher education, vocational education, and training), in addition to the school-leaving certificate known as the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education, is what makes the Australian educational system unique.
International students’ rights
When it comes to implementing rights and protecting consumers, Australia is unbeatable. For students from other countries, it offers the strictest consumer protection. All programmes offered to international students adhere to strict government rules in accordance with the Australian Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000.
Linguistic diversity
With the highest percentage of immigrants in a developed nation, Australia provides unmatched global exposure. In Australia, there are more than 200 languages and dialects spoken. Additionally, you can find a sizable group of Indians to mingle with and celebrate regional holidays together. Italian, Greek, Arab, and Chinese ancestry are among the other ethnic groups you’ll encounter in Australia. Australia is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world because it has a large population that speaks languages from all these countries. No wonder the Australian study destination is most sought after among international students.
Work
While studying in Australia you can work up to 20 hours per week. This a great opportunity for students who want to gain work experience in their field of interest while they study and for those who want to earn money to offset living expenses during their stay.
Government funding for studies
Given that the Australian government spends more than £200,000,000 yearly on international scholarships, as an Indian student, you can significantly lower your tuition fees by applying to a variety of scholarships, grants, and bursaries. This guarantees that even students from low-income homes can benefit from a top-notch education without having to worry about financial arrangements. While most scholarships only pay for tuition, those who choose to enrol in research programmes may also be eligible for living expense reimbursement.
The most significant factor is typically a strong academic record, but extracurricular activities and volunteer work can also be advantageous.
Superior level of living
Due to the high standard of living and the fact that five of its largest cities—Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide—are among the most liveable in the world, many international students choose to pursue their higher education in Australia. Australia has an unmatched overall standard of living because to its top-notch infrastructure, first-rate medical and healthcare facilities, robust network of modern transit systems, and fairly priced housing.
Easier to find employment after completing your studies
All students from India who have subclass 500 visas are permitted to work 20 hours per week and full-time on weekends. After finishing your studies, you can also apply for a subclass 485 temporary graduate visa, which will allow you to stay and continue studying or working in Australia. When you decide to study in Australia, you choose a welcoming workplace culture and outstanding industry experience.
There is more to studying abroad than just getting an acceptance letter from a university and visa approval. In order to save you the hassle, we at MWT Education Consultancy offer a variety of exclusive services to students who want to pursue courses in Australia. Contact our student counsellors or experts at MWT Education Consultancy for further information on study destination Australia.
