STUDYING IN AUSTRALIA

Information about studying in Australia
Australia is an increasingly popular destination for international students and researchers. All Australian states and territories offer quality education at all levels (school, vocational education and training, higher education, English and short courses).

Through the Study in Australia website the Australian Government provides information for international students about studying in Australia, Australian education institutions and courses. Prospective students should ensure they enrol in registered courses with registered institutions. Approved courses and institutions are listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). You can search for a course or institution on the CRICOS register page .

Enquiries about Australian courses, eligibility requirements and the progress of applications should be directed to individual institutions.
