Why study in Australia?

Australia is one of the world's most respected destinations for international students seeking a western education. With more than 180,000 international students studying at Australian institutions (150,000 onshore and 32,000 offshore), Australia offers a very high quality of education that is much more affordable than other English-speaking countries.
