Study in Australia

Join a diverse, welcoming community

As a migrant country, Australia is famous for its openness to different cultures. Sydney, in particular, is home to dozens of international communities with strong cultural ties to their homeland. Plus, Sydney is one of the top study destinations for international students, so you can make global connections and lifelong friends. 

Supercharged career opportunities

Starting a career in Australia after university is a dream for many international students, and there are plenty of incredible opportunities on offer. Australia is experiencing record-low unemployment rates, with thousands of new jobs created every month*. Some of the fastest-growing sectors include healthcare, community services, energy and resources, tourism and cyber security, where skilled graduates are in high demand. 

As an international student, you can work for limited hours while studying in Australia to participate in internships and gain real-world work experience. And when you finish your study, you may be eligible to apply for post-study work right to launch your careers in this land.

World-class learning experiences

Australians are a friendly bunch, but we’re also highly ambitious and not afraid to put in the hard work. Home to three global top 20* universities, Australia places a big focus on employability in education. UNSW is ranked 1st^ Australia-wide for graduate Employment Outcomes. That means you’ll enjoy hands-on learning, getting practical experience in your field, and having a bit of fun while you’re at it.

A nature-lovers playground

Name another place with as many stunning landscapes close by. From the iconic Sydney Harbour to the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland and the beautiful pink lakes in Western Australia, this charming country has so many places to explore during holidays.

From lakes, islands and bays to famous Bondi Beach, Sydney has plenty of places to cool off in summer. And in winter, go hiking in one of the multiple national parks around the city or skiing at snow resorts around New South Wales. Let’s not forget the beautiful parks, historic architecture, shopping precincts and postcard-worthy landmarks.
