One of the most original and iconic countries world wide, Australia is home to some of the best universities in the world.
With a warm climate, over 50 000km of maritime coast and a reputaion of being one of the friendliest countries in the world, it’s easy to see why Australia is one of the most popu-lar destinations for international students.

Entrepreneurs and problem-solvers are welcomed in Australia; the education sys-tem here celebrates ingenuity and rewards those who stand-out with new designs and solutions for different problems.

Australia is a nation of migrants, and this means each community learned to live to-gether in harmony, and society as a whole benefits from the mix of tradition and customs.

MELBOURNE
Cosmopolitan Sydney, with its beautiful port and a relaxed life-style, is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world.
Sydney is the largest Australian city, the nation’s economic powerhouse and Australia’s capital city in everything but the name. This city vibrates with energy and offers everything some-one could ask for from a destination: the most beautiful port in the world crossed by an equally amazing bridge (known as The Coathanger), the famous Opera House, a pleasant climate, godly beaches for surf, a multitude of restaurants and bars that vibrate with nightlife.
Sydney is blessed with a soft climate, the temperature rarely falls under 10 degrees C over night, with an average of 25C in the summer and over 300 sunny days a year. The winters are rather cool then cold.
Despite the fact that it’s Continental Australia’s small-est state (aprox. the size of Great Britain), Victoria
has a lot to offer. It’s a place of contrasts, beaches and mountains, desert and forests, volcanic fields and huge farms.
The city of Melbourne, Victoria’s capital city, has been inhabited ever since 1830 by Europeans. Melbourne produces one of the most innovative arts, music, food, fashion, shows, design and culture in Australia. “Melbour-nians”, love to shop, eat and take part in countless shows this city has to offer to their inhabitants.
The characteristic that defines Melbourne is its cultural diversity. Approximately 40% of the city’s population was born overseas, originating in over 130 countries.
And let’s not forget about Melbourne’s coffee culture. If you like coffee, this is the city where you want to be.

BRISBANE
PERTH

With a population of 2 million people and over 1100 people moving here every week, Bris-
bane is considered to be Australia’s fastest developing city in the last decade.
Brisbane is home to over 80 000 international stu-dents from over 40 different countries. Their number doubled in the last 4 years. Approximate 80% of them chose Brisbane as their study destination in the state of Queensland.
Temperature in the southern part of Queensland rarely falls under 20C.
Brisbane has a reputation of being one of the most progressive cities in Australia.
With a massive academic culture and an economy based on knowledge, combined with one of the most envied lifestyles, Brisbane is one of the cities interna-tional students should put on top of their lists when it comes to studying in Australia.
Have you ever heard the expression “bigger than Texas”? Well, this one applies to Western
Australia. You could fit Texas in Western Australia and still have room for New Zealand.
The state has 12 000kms of beach and more animal and plant species than the whole world put together.
The city of Perth, the capital city of Western Aus-tralia, has a long and hot summer with temperatures constantly over 30C, especially in January and Febru-ary.
The predominant culture in Perth is an outdoor one. It seems like more and more “Perthians” are devoted to a hobby that involves an outdoor activity such as swimming, surfing, fishing or sunbathing.
Perth has an important artistic community as well.

ADELAIDE

GOLD COAST
When the first colonists arrived here, they used stone in their buildings. They wanted to build
a solid and respected city, a civilized and calm place to a level no Australian city can reach. If you ask some-one from another large Australian city what they know about Adelaide, they will tell you that it is the city of churches. These days it is more than that.
Adelaide has a Mediterranean climate with hot and dry summers and cool winters. A vibrant population of students assures you there is a lot you can do in this city especially for those on a budget.
Adelaide is smaller than Sydney, Melbourne or Bris-bane but offers the same lifestyle and quality educa-tion – for a smaller cost.
Statistics show that cost of living in Sydney is 24% higher than Adelaide, Melbourne’s cost of living is 21% higher and Perth’s and Brisbane’s cost of living is 9% higher than Adelaide.
Famous Gold Coast has the best of Australia in the smallest details. Gold Coast offers a large
selections of beaches, subtropical forests, theme parks, nightlife, shopping and attractions in an extremely ac-cessible destination.
Gold Coast is a unique city, and one of the best places in the world for holiday and studies.
Large enough to satisfy the most demanding tastes but small enough to insure the visitor of the smallest details, Gold Coast is the ideal destination for studies, entertainment and business.
From the iconic Surfers Paradise to the sophisticated restaurants, a new experience awaits you at every cor-ner in Gold Coast.

HIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCH
If your level of English needs to be improved before starting a course or you want to study English language for different reasons, an English language course in a native speaking country like Australia can help.
Australia offers a variety of spe-cialised English courses. You can study these courses in any of Aus-tralia’s largest cities or in a quieter, more exotic places: Noosa, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Byron Bay, etc…
A relevant characteristic of the VET (Vocational Education and Training) courses is, they tend to focus more on developing practical skills in a certain occupation, while the Higher Educa-tion courses focus more on theory and professional development.
VET courses are different from the Higher Education because they are practical courses, with a shorter dura-tion and a lower cost and offer a lower qualification than Higher Education courses (Bachelor degrees, Master degrees, etc…).
Undergraduate courses are based in essence on theory and rep-resent the first professional qualifica-tion at an academic level. The typical course that falls under this category is the Bachelor degree with a dura-tion of 3 or 4 years depending on the major. It can also last for 2 years if the fast-track option is used.
The typical courses that fall under the Postgraduate category are the Postgraduate courses.
Courses that fall in this category are the Master or PhD courses that have at least a third of the studies based on research and no more than one third of theory.
The typical courses for this catego-ry are the Master (by Research) – dif-ferent from the Mast (by Coursework) – and the PhD or doctorate courses.
International students that study these courses and their dependents will receive full work rights for the du-ration of their stay in Australia.
An Australian qualification can have a significant impact on your life, adding new skills and knowledge that can boost your career or give you a new direction in life. In a competitive job market, it is time to ob-tain an advantage that a course in Australia can offer.

Regardless of you wanting to get a job on the job market or you want to make
a first step towards university, a vocational qualification in Australia can lead you where you want to get.
The Australia vocational sector (or VET) is based on an industry and government part-nership. Education institutions called Techni-cal and Further Education (TAFE) or private education institutions called RTO – Registered Training Organization, offer VET qualifications in Australia.
Many VET courses offer on-site train-ing, which means you, won’t learn only in the classroom but obtain precious work experi-ence in a real workplace.
In Australia, the quality of education is guaranteed. As a matter of fact, international student’s safety and experience is protected by law through ESOS – Education Services for Overseas Students Act adopted in the year 2000.

Another great website is www.booking.com For last minute bookings or short term accommodation, you can use www.getaroom.com.au or www.wotif.com but hotels in Austra-lia’s larger cities are expensive charging a minimum of AUD$150 per night.
Australia offers a variety of accommodation options for students at a high standard and differ-ent budgets. Campus rooms, hostels, Homestays, shared accommodation, all these ar popular.

Once beoming a fresh graduate from an
Australian university, you will probably ask yourself, what are the options to stay longer in Australia?
There are many options for a person with an Australian qualification. Here are some of them:
• Skilled Independent (Sub-class 189)
• Skilled Nominated (Sub-class 190)
• Temporary Work (Skilled) Visa (Subclass 457)
What is Skilled Independent (Subclass 189)?
Like all skilled visas, the Skilled Independent
(189) visa is a points-based application. You must be work-ing in a job on the Skilled Oc-cupation List (SOL) and then meet requirements around your age, English competence, training and work experience. The Skilled Independent (189) visa does not require sponsor-ship by a relative or state and you can live and work in any part of Australia.
Once you have activated your 189 visa, you and your family gain permanent resi-dency in Australia. In summary, this means: * You and your partner to work in any job on arrival * You can study at an Austra-
lian school or university * You receive subsidised healthcare through Medicare * You are on the pathway to Australian citizenship * You can sponsor others for permanent residency
What is Skilled Nominated
(Subclass 190)?
Like all skilled visas, the Skilled - Nominated
(190) visa is a points-based application. You must be work-ing in a job on the Consoli-dated Skilled Occupation List (CSOL) and then meet require-ments around your age, Eng-lish competence, training and work experience.
You must also be spon-sored by a state or territo-ry. Each state has unique skill shortages and thus occupa-tions appear at different times on different lists. Each state varies in its specific require-ments. Some states require applicants to have higher English scores; others require more work experience or detailed evidence of the appli-cant’s assets.
Once you have activated your 190 visa, you and your family gain permanent resi-dency in Australia. In summary, this means:
* You and your partner to work in any job on arrival * You can study at an Austra-lian school or university * You receive subsidised
healthcare through Medicare * You are on the pathway to Australian citizenship * You can sponsor others for permanent residency
What is 457 visa?
The Temporary Work (Skilled) visa allows
skilled workers to come to Aus-tralia and work for an approved business for up to four years.
An approved business can sponsor someone for this visa if they cannot find an Austra-lian citizen or permanent resi-dent to do the skilled work. The nominated occupation must be on the Consolidated Skilled Occupation List (CSOL).
Employees are restricted to working only for their Sponsor and you can be in or outside Australia when you lodge your application. To apply for 457 visa you must:
1. be nominated to work in an approved occupation on the Skilled Occupation Lists
2. meet the skill requirements for the nominated occupa-tion
3. meet registration and li-censing obligations
4. speak vocational English be nominated by an ap-proved business.
This visa allows you to:
1. work in Australia for up to four years
2. bring your family to work or study in Australia
3. travel in and out of Australia as often as you want.
