Australia, the lucky country, consistently ranks at the top of most global living and working rankings. It’s, therefore, no surprise that it is one of the most preferred study destinations in the world. You might have already decided to study in Australia, but just in case you need more help, here are the top 12 reasons to study in Australia.
Reasons to Study in Australia
- A truly multicultural experience: When you study in Australia you will be studying alongside people from all over the world! It is common to have classmates from India, China, Turkey, Italy, Ethiopia, and everywhere else… Even those born and brought up in Australia are often second or third-generation migrants. You will truly feel like a global citizen in Australia. Such an environment places great emphasis on English language skills and your university or Australian immigration might ask you to prove your skills through an exam like the PTE – you can find more information here!
- Beaches, beaches, and beaches: Australia is dotted with some of the best beaches in the world. Most major Australian cities have a beach within 15 minutes of a train or tram ride from wherever you are in the city. During the semester break, you can also take a trip to the Great Ocean Road! Australian beaches will inspire and invigorate you. Your school holidays will never be the same again.
- Best coffee in the world: If there is one country where Starbucks is not the preferred option for many, and yes it is Australia! Cities like Melbourne and Sydney have many specialty coffee stores. You will find great coffee even in smaller rural towns. This is just one reflection of the high standards that Australia sets in everything.
- Millenia old civilisation: Cities like Sydney will dazzle you with their skyscrapers, and the mystical Uluru will draw your attention towards millennium-old culture and civilisation that permeates every grain of sand in Australia. At once you will feel a part of both old and new.
- Leading global innovator: We bet you didn’t know this one! Many of the modern inventions that we take for granted in everyday life have originated from Australian and Australian universities and research centres. Electronic pacemaker, flight black box recorder, google maps, plastic currency notes, electrical drills, wi-fi, and ultrasound scanner have all had their birth in good old Australia. Now tell us, where do you want to study next?
- Top-ranking Universities: Australian universities such as the University of Melbourne consistently rank in the top 25 in the world! Many universities are at the forefront of research. Australian university education is viewed with a lot of respect all over the world.
- Highest salaries in OECD: If you study and start working in Australia you will be able to earn some of the highest salaries among the OECD countries. Of course, the average cost of living in a city like Sydney might be a little bit higher than the other states but companies in Sydney might also offer better salary packages which means you can offset your expenses.
- The great outdoors, great lifestyle: Australian society places great importance on the outdoors and physical activity. When you study in Australia, this will surely rub on you. You will find yourself hiking and travelling on weekends or indulging in friendly games of footy and cricket every now and then.
- Global educational tie-ups: As a key ally of the USA and the UK, Australia is deeply engaged in the global educational network. Most Australian Universities have tie-ups with leading Universities in the USA, UK and elsewhere in the world. Almost all Universities will offer you the opportunity to spend a semester in another top global University.
- Low rate of unemployment: We know you are studying just for the love of it, but eventually everyone likes to get a job! When you are in Australia your chances of finding a job that will skyrocket. Australia has a relatively low rate of unemployment and the need for skilled University-educated professionals has been increasing!
If we ever meet over a coffee or beer, we can tell you a hundred more reasons to study and live in Australia! For now we hope these are enough, and we look forward to seeing you soon down under!
