Australia is one of the most popular destinations for international students in the English-speaking world. Several reasons such as cultural diversity, quality of education available and friendliness of its inhabitants make it a popular choice for international students. In Australia, students feel comfortable and at home and also they are confident that they are receiving a valuable and high quality education. The education system in Australia has an impressive international reputation. Known for its innovative policy development and effective structure as well as high quality teaching and research, even other countries look to Australia to improve their own education systems.  

With a significant number of overseas students, Australia is one of the world's most culturally diverse countries. This means one will be studying among students from all over the world and will have access to many of the conveniences of home, such as restaurants and grocers, as well as film festivals and food fairs.

During term time, international students on student visas are permitted to work 40 hours every two weeks (fortnight), and during breaks, they are permitted to work an unlimited number of hours. Also, the post study work permit allows graduates to stay back and work for a period of 6 years after completing their graduation.
