Australia universities have a proud tradition of teaching international university students and an impressive record of achieving excellence. Recent growth and increased competition in the education sector has resulted in greater flexibility and diversity in course offerings, teaching methods and research orientation. Australia is a strongly education focused nation, boasting one of the best-edcuated people from amongst any developed country in the world.

The country has a very sophisticated education and training system and is increasingly becoming the preferred study destination for students from overseas. Indeed, in 2003 over 300,000 international students enrolled to study in Australia which represented an increase of 11% on 2002. This included over 14,400 Indian students (with growth of 27%, this makes India the fastest growing country for Australia). Such growth reflects the unprecedented demand from Indian studetts wishing to study in Australia over the past 12 months. India is now the third largest source country of higher education students for Australia.

Australia recognised that international education contributes to its engagement with the world-socially, culturally, intellectually and economically. It has, therefore, developed a comprehensive policy framework for stronger and more productive international engagement in educaiton and training.

Studying in Australia exposes students to fresh challenges and new experiences every day which help them develop new skills so that you excel both at academic and personal level. For Indian students considering an overseas study destination, Australia has the safest, happiest and the most tolerant study environment.
