Australia: Go down under for your graduate studies
For students interested in pursuing a career in sport, Australia is one of the best countries in which to study if its gold medal tally at Olympic Games is anything to go by. Whatever Australia’s method of teaching, training, supporting, and encouraging elite athletes is, it’s a successful one.
Since 1910, Australia has been using distance learning to reach students in remote areas of the country. Now, it is a world leader in distance education, online and e-learning. Australian courses are offered online and in offshore campuses across the globe, giving students the opportunity to study for an Australian degree from anywhere in the world.
The cost of an Australian degree is significantly lower than in the UK or US.
Universities receive generous government funding and the cost of an Australian degree is significantly lower than in the UK or US. What’s more, for students wishing to study abroad in Australia, there is the opportunity to work up to 20 hours a week. Students can be assured that university qualifications are up to international standard. The Australian Government regulates universities, and all courses offered to international students must be approved on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS).
The quality of Australian universities is further enhanced by international links, industry collaboration and a commitment to research. There are more than 100 major scientific specialist research centres and is ranked third among OECD countries for public investment in research and development as a proportion of the GDP.
The knowledge gained and merit received from Australia universities helps graduate students further their careers. Indian manager, George Chrian says that his Masters of Management from Monash University has made him knowledgeable and marketable. “My education in Australia has helped me to think critically, plan strategically and to act practically,” he says. “International education makes you a good international citizen, and is the seed for a better future for yourself, as well as for a better world.”
With world-class education institutions to study at, an international range of qualifications to choose from, and a unique country in which to experience it all, it’s hard not to consider going down under for your graduate studies.
