With

thousands of institutions and courses to choose from, how do you decide where

to study as an international student? Do you dream of heading for the land of

Uncle Sam or would you feel more at home in Shakespeare’s country? Perhaps the

Australian outback will give you the space you need to work out the problems of

the world. Whichever you choose, the adventure begins right here!

STUDY IN

AUSTRALIA Free-spirited Australia has been open to migration for many years and

is today one of the world’s top three destinations for international students.

Australia’s renowned cultural diversity, its high level of public safety and

the vibrant atmosphere of its cities all help to make it easy for overseas

visitors to feel at home. Academically speaking, most of the national,

publicly-funded universities are of similarly high standard. Moreover,

Australian institutions have a particularly strong reputation for research into

the environment and sport science.

STUDY IN THE

UK Many students are attracted to Britain by its long history of literature,

from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Bridget Jones and Harry Potter. Look beyond

this, and you’ll find a university system with one of the best reputations in

the world. Universities in the UK have a record of achievement in business,

law, the sciences, philosophy, linguistics and many other fields. Some UK

institutions offer a foundation course (usually three months or one year in

length) to prepare international students before they go on to do a full

undergraduate or post-graduate degree; applying for one of these courses

normally involves taking the IELTS exam.

STUDY IN NEW

ZEALAND With its vast and beautiful open spaces and friendly city centres, New

Zealand is a country where you can enjoy both the great outdoors and the

conveniences and dynamism of modern city life. Low living costs and a high

standard of living also make life here very appealing. New Zealand’s highly

respected educational programs are based on the British system. A large part of

a degree program is practical; this gives graduates both the knowledge and the

skills they need when entering the workplace.

STUDY IN THE

USA The population of the USA is made up of people from every continent, joined

together by a shared language and a core set of values. Of these values,

liberty and freedom are probably the most important, combined with individual

responsibility. American students are therefore expected to think independently

and have responsibility for their own studies; classes are often informal and

students are encouraged to express their opinion. With 50 states all offering a

huge range of different types of institutions – from two-year community college

courses to four-year undergraduate programs – deciding where to study in the USA

may appear confusing, so it is important to do some research first.

STUDY IN

CANADA Surveys conducted by the United Nations have repeatedly found Canada to

be among the top ten places in the world to live in. In addition, Canada’s

largest cities, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, have been recognised as

world-class cities in which to live and work, for their cleanliness and safety

and for their cultural activities and attractive lifestyles. A Canadian degree,

diploma or certificate is well regarded in business, government and academic

circles around the globe. Canada has two official languages – English and

French. Studying and living in Canada could be your opportunity to learn both!
