Australia
Capital : Canberra
Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country was able to take advantage of its natural resources in order to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef. A referendum to change Australia's status, from a commonwealth headed by the British monarch to a republic, was defeated in 1999.
Study:
Generally speaking, if you are intending to study in Australia, you will need to be on a visa class that allows this, rather than a tourist visa. Students and academics invited to visit Australian universities will generally also need an appropriate visa, even if their visit is of a short enough period to be covered by a tourist electronic visa. For extremely short term or part time courses, check with your Australian consulate or embassy.
Australian students attend a high school program of approximately six years, and enter university (also called "uni") at seventeen or eighteen years of age. (In Australia, neither "school" nor "college" are used to refer to tertiary institutions, they are referred to only as "universities".) Australian undergraduate programs are usually three years in length. A fourth year (or sometimes even fifth year) is compulsory in some professional undergraduate programs such as engineering, law, medicine and dentistry. Other students take an optional fourth year known as honours if they want to proceed into a postgraduate research program.
Australia does not have universities whose prestige competes with Harvard or MIT in the US or Oxford or Cambridge in the UK. Its most prestigious research universities are equivalent to the next tier of universities. However, these universities are very competitive on tuition compared to other Western universities.
All tuition at university level is in English, save for courses that specifically focus on other languages. Students who have not previously earned a qualification in an English speaking program will have to take one of a number of English competency tests before being allowed to enroll.
Postgraduate studies in Australia fall into two classes: coursework and research. Coursework degrees are generally at the Masters level and are terminal: they do not proceed into a research degree. Research degrees are at the Masters and Doctoral level.
Australia has a high quality tertiary education system, which attracts hundreds of thousands of students from abroad. International students pay higher course fees than their Australian counterparts. However, when fees are compared to similar universities in the US or UK, they do still represent excellent value.
In order to study in Australia, certain minimum requirements must be met, including a sufficient level of English language proficiency. If you don't meet the entry requirements, you might be able to enrol in Foundation Studies to prepare you for further study.
Detailed information on studying in Australia can be found on the government's website
Higher Education :
In recent times, Australia has emerged as one of the favorite destinations for higher education and has built a strong reputation for educational excellence. Currently, there are 200 000 international students pursuing different types of courses at different levels in the country. Education in the country offers the students with new and varied opportunities. At the same time, the students experience an all-new world replete with unparalleled experiences. The programs offered in the universities are world-class and have worldwide recognition and a reputation for excellence. Moreover, the relaxed and safe lifestyle is another factor why students increasingly choose Australia for higher education. Comparatively, the cost of education and living is also lower for the standards of education that Australian universities are second to none. Australia’s rapid emergence on the international education scene has attracted huge number of students. In fact, Australia has a higher percentage of international students than the US or the UK. Cheaper courses are another reason why students prefer the country for further education. The country has a national set of education that has been endorsed by the national government. Entry into the Australian universities is tough as there is a high degree of competition. English proficiency is a must for both under graduate and postgraduate studies.In order to aid the students who are planning to study in Australia, here are some links, which are mentioned below. These links will help a student understand Australia better and also know more about the colleges and universities in Australia.
Admission :
Undergraduate admission to university is centralized at the state level. You make a single application for admission to the state admissions body stating your course preferences. The universities select students from this common applicant pool based upon their ranking and preferences. Unless you are applying for a creative arts degree, your ranking will be based solely on previous academic performance at both high school and previous university studies.
Postgraduate admission is managed by individual universities and you will need to apply separately to each institution you are considering.
Tuition fees :
All Australian universities save for Bond University are public: they are funded by the government. The full fees are very competitive compared to many Western universities, and some classes of student have substantially reduced fees: Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and citizens of New Zealand can often study in Australia for about one-third of the notional tuition cost. Australian citizens also have the option of deferring payment and having the money taken from their income tax after graduation. Other students will generally be required to pay full tuition on enrolment each semester.
Scholarships are rarely awarded for undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degrees. A comparatively large number of scholarships are available for postgraduate research usually covering both tuition where required and living costs. These are awarded by individual universities.
