Region information

Perth is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city located just 12 kilometres from some of Australia's famous beaches. Considered a leading city in sustainable living, people from across the globe move to Perth for its beautiful natural environment, medical and health accessibility, and political and social stability. Perth is also a much more affordable destination compared to the United Kingdom and even other Australian cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. These are just some of the reasons why Perth is consistently rated as one of the most desirable, safe and livable cities in the world.

While studying in Perth, you will meet and work with people from across the globe and develop strong social and professional networks. With significantly fewer Russian-speaking students compared to Sydney, Perth also provides an ideal environment for improving English language skills.
