Why should you consider to Study in Australia?
Australia offers an unparalleled combination of academic excellence, research opportunities, and lifestyle benefits with excellent post-study work options and pathways to permanent residency.
Group of Eight: World-Class Research Universities
Australia's Group of Eight (Go8) universities — Melbourne, Sydney, ANU, UNSW, Queensland, Monash, Western Australia, and Adelaide — all rank in the global top 100. Australia has more universities per capita in the global top 200 than any other country.
2-4 Years Post-Study Work Rights
Australia offers 2-4 years of post-study work rights depending on your qualification level and study location. Regional graduates can get up to 4 years. This is more generous than the UK's 2-year Graduate Route.
Highest Minimum Wage in the World
Australia's minimum wage is AUD 23.23/hour — the highest in the world. International students can work 48 hours per fortnight during semesters and unlimited hours during breaks. This significantly helps offset living costs.
Quality of Life & Safety
Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane regularly rank in the top 10 most liveable cities globally. Australia offers excellent healthcare, low crime rates, and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle with great weather.
PR Pathway Through Skilled Migration
Australia's points-based skilled migration system rewards Australian education, English proficiency, and Australian work experience. Many graduates in high-demand fields can apply for PR within 1-2 years of graduation.
800,000+ Indian-Origin Population
Australia's Indian community is one of the fastest-growing, with over 800,000 people of Indian origin. Cities like Melbourne and Sydney have thriving Indian neighborhoods with cultural festivals and cricket clubs.
