Looking to Study In Australia?

By Antonio Suarez


Universities offer a wide variety of courses from doctoral level study to vocational training and short-term courses. In your chosen field, the institutions provide you with some of the best infrastructure, academic environment and opportunities. Furthermore, you will find excellent opportunities to hone your sports, artistic and literary talents apart from your chosen field of study. TAFE courses are taught in modern, well-equipped colleges but some specialist courses are delivered in the workplace, in the student's home or in overseas countries.

Australian degrees, diplomas and other awards are recognized worldwide. Australian universities are famous for exceptional facilities provided at competitive prices in a safe and friendly environment. Australian universities expect students to actively participate in the learning process. There is great emphasis on private, self-motivated study, research and analysis of data. Universities in Australia normally expect overseas students not only to have good scores in qualifying exams like GMAT and TOEFL, but also to have work experience for entry into their Master Degree Programs. In technical fields such as engineering, medicine and science, there are more hours of lectures, tutorials and practical classes where students are expected to spend more time in individual reading and research.

The academic curriculum in Australian universities is scientifically planned and it caters to students from many countries. The Australian Education System has three segments: primary education, secondary education and tertiary education. Tertiary education itself has two components: Universities (Higher Education) and TAFE (Technical and Further education). TAFE is a government recognized system of vocational education and training. It is the major provider of the skills required by the Australian work force. The TAFE year runs from February to December.
