OMG❗️Why are more and more people going to Australia to study abroad? 😭

Why are more and more people choosing to study in Australia in recent years? Here are several advantages: ✅ Stable World Rankings: Australian universities consistently rank well in global university rankings. For example, in the 2023 QS Rankings, 7 out of the Group of Eight (Go8) universities in Australia made it to the top 100. Among them, 5 Australian universities have consistently ranked in the top 50, including Australian National University (30th), University of Melbourne (33rd), University of Sydney (41st), University of New South Wales (45th), and University of Queensland (50th). ✅ Flexible Education System: Australia offers flexible study durations, including 2-year, 1.5-year, and 1-year programs. The flexibility of the education system is one of the main reasons why many students choose to study in Australia. ✅ Multiple Intake Seasons: Compared to countries like the UK, the US, and Canada, Australian universities have two to three intake seasons per year. Generally, the academic year starts in February or July. Currently, more universities are adopting a trimester system, allowing students who want a seamless transition from undergraduate to postgraduate programs to apply for the July intake. If there is not enough time to prepare application materials, such as language test scores, students can take a gap semester and apply for the February intake the following year. ✅ Easier Cross-Disciplinary Transfers: Some Australian universities have flexible program offerings, with relatively lenient requirements for undergraduate backgrounds. Regardless of whether your undergraduate major is related to your desired field of study, Australian universities will give you an opportunity for a fresh start. Popular fields like computer science, business, and education, for example, have courses available for cross-disciplinary applications. However, students applying for cross-disciplinary programs can only choose from 1.5 to 2-year programs. The university will arrange foundation courses in the first semester to help students get started. The University of Melbourne, for instance, offers IT programs with options of 2 years, 1.5 years, and 1 year. ✅ Favorable Student Visa Policies: Starting from July 1, 2023, Australia will provide additional post-study work visa duration for international students who graduate from Australian universities. ✅ Safe and Livable Environment: Australia has a climate similar to southern cities in China, making it easy for Chinese students to adapt. The time difference is only 2-3 hours. Australia is also a country with a low crime rate, providing students with a very safe learning environment.
