Postgraduate opportunities in Australia.

 

Do you know that Australia is the world’s third most popular destination for study abroad? Australian universities are internationally renowned for the quality of their research and training.

As an international Masters student you’ll have the chance to experience the things that make Australia one of the world’s most appealing tourist destinations and take advantage of the unique educational opportunities that its universities offer.

Here are some of the most compelling reasons to consider a Masters in Australia this year:

World-class reputation.

There are eight Australian universities among the world’s top 150, reflecting the country’s academic excellence. Over 440,000 overseas students study in Australia. There are over 40 universities in Australia. The majority are public institutions, administered and funded by the Australian federal government.

Fantastic climate and quality of life

Along with enviable year-round sunshine, Australia enjoys its status as one of the world’s safest and most stable countries. Australia’s warm, sunny weather is the perfect personification of its inhabitants’ sunny disposition. It is a very multicultural country, and you will find yourself surrounded by people of all backgrounds and interests.

Unique research opportunities

Australia’s ‘Technical and Further Education’ (TAFE) institutions are distinct from research universities. They focus on vocational training programmes rather than academic degrees. They also offer unparalleled potential for environmental science research, topnotch health and life science plus robust marine/oceanography research.

 

Internationally recognized programmes.

Modeled on the British degree system, Australian Masters degrees are respected around the world. The academic year in Australia begins in February. It runs across two teaching semesters from February to June and from July to November.

Masters courses are usually available to start in either February or July, although some professional courses are only available to start in semester 1 (February).

 

Work and study options

Many student visas allow their students a certain period of time to work in Australia. This is often an excellent way to minimize your expenses. The minimum wage in Australia is A$17.70 per hour, and students can easily find work as tutors, in retail or in tourism.

 

Your visa allows you to work up to 40 hours per fortnight while your classes are in full swing, and you are free to work as much as you please during breaks, while your family members can do the same.

Australia has an impressive global reputation for higher education. It’s no surprise that so many international students flock to Australia.
