Education in Australia

Australia is one of the most popular destinations among Indian students. Be it its cities marvelled for their architecture and landscaping, A class universities, vocational schools or the amazing features like affordability and accessibility, Australia is a rage for prospective students. No wonder education is the third largest industry in Australia.

The course most in demand which is also directly proportional to the demand in the international job market, is, Accounting. You can choose to go in for a diploma or a Masters. If you are looking for something short term, then courses like;

  • Hair dressing,
  • Hospitality industry,
  • Construction,
  • Building,
  • Community welfare
  • Plumbing and
  • Automotive are your pick.
Aviation too is another exciting prospect for those geared to fly high. With so many private airlines coming into the domestic circuit in India and almost as many opportunities abroad it remains a lucrative option. Courses are under the Civil Aviation Authority of Australia and the only university providing it is Institute of TAFE, Melbourne. Other universities to look out for are:
  • Sydney,
  • Monache,
  • Queensland,
  • Adelaide,
  • Tasmania and
  • Western Australia.
The unique selling point of an Australian degree is that it takes three years, which is one year shorter than a US four-year degree and also, it costs comparatively less (40 per cent-60 per cent) than a UK or US degree. Nearly 37,000 Indian students were enrolled in Australian institutions YTD (Year to Date) March 2007, which is an increase of almost 50% as compared to the enrolments in the same period previous year.
