The education and adventure of a lifetime
There’s a good reason hundreds of thousands of students make the journey to study in Australia every year. The latest 2025 QS World University Rankings have spotlighted Australia as one of the countries that provide the best education in the world. Sydney alone has two global top 20 universities, including UNSW Sydney, ranked 19th in the world.
Plus, great weather, diverse culture, thriving food, shopping and cultural scenes – and we’ve got some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country.
Whether you head home after your studies or launch your career Down Under, studying in Australia is an experience you’ll never forget and never regret.
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.
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.
