10 Reasons to Study in Australia
10 Reasons to Study in Australia
Did you know Australia has the 3rd highest number of international students in the world behind only the United Kingdom and the United States despite having a population of only 23 million? This isn’t surprising when you consider Australia has seven of the top 100 universities in the world! In fact, with over 22,000 courses across 1,100 institutions, Australia sits above the likes of Germany, the Netherlands and Japan, ranking 8th in the Universitas 2012 U21 Ranking of National Higher Education Systems.
These are strong academic credentials, but our institutions are just as highly rated as the cities that house them around the country. Australia has five of the 30 best cities in the world for students based on student mix, affordability, quality of life, and employer activity – all important elements for students when choosing the best study destination. And with more than A$200 million provided by the Australian Government each year in international scholarships, we’re making it easier for you to come and experience the difference an Australian education can make to your future career opportunities.
Do you have a specific study area of interest? There is every chance Australia has you covered, with at least one Australian university in the top 50 worldwide across the study areas of Natural Sciences & Mathematics, Life & Agricultural Sciences, Clinical Medicine & Pharmacy, and Physics.
Given this impressive education pedigree, it’s not surprising there are now more than 2.5 million former international students who have gone on to make a difference after studying in Australia. Some of these students are among the world’s finest minds. In fact, Australia has produced 15 Nobel prize laureates and every day over 1 billion people around the world rely on Australian discoveries and innovations – including penicillin, IVF, ultrasound, Wi-Fi, the Bionic Ear, cervical cancer vaccine and Black Box Flight Recorders – to make their lives, and the lives of others, better.

Chinese Students Eye Australia to Study
Students from China make up a large number of the
international students in universities in Australia. Australian Universities
can expect a surge of Chinese students over the next decade, a new survey has
found. A Recent survey conducted by Nielson found that although
only 10% of Chinese respondents are studying abroad today, this is expected to
jump to 68 per cent in the next 5 to 10 years.
The survey of 1000 mainland Chinese respondents showed that
of those with study abroad intentions, 73% plan to send their children abroad
to study, while 20% plan to study abroad and move with their children. This trend suggests that Australia will
continue to provide world class education to the growing number of Chinese
students.
The relationship between Australia and China has grown
considerably over recent years, and today China is Australia's largest trading
partner. Chinese students are choosing Australia over other developed countries
because of familiarity with Australian brands, which are popular all over the world.
Here are some common reasons why Chinese students
choose Australia as their overseas study destination:

- Exciting cities
- Flexibility to work part time up to 20 hours per week and full-time during holidays
