Being an overseas student in Australia

The Australian education system is broadly divided into university, vocational, school and English courses.

University is the highest level of study in Australia. There are 37 government-funded Australian universities and two privately-funded universities. Australian universities offer students access to quality education, technologically advanced facilities and expert lecturers in their undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Australian university degrees are widely recognised across the globe, and graduates are highly employable.

Vocational institutions offer practical and skill-based courses with industry experience. Students can begin vocational education and training after secondary school (Year 10) or senior secondary school (Year 12). Courses are offered at privately-owned institutions and the government-funded Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutes. Many vocational institutes have links and agreements with universities, through which universities may offer up to one year of advanced standing into a Bachelor degree as well as guaranteed entry into a course when the student achieves the required grades at their vocational institution.

Foundation studies (also known as bridging courses) will help students meet the entry requirements of a Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Bachelor degree if they haven't completed Australian senior secondary school or a foreign equivalent. Most courses are designed specifically to prepare international students for the Australian academic environment.

English language courses are targeted to specific purposes, such as English for Academic Purposes, English for Business and English for Computing. There are English language colleges across Australia which offer a range of English language training courses to help students to improve their English language skills. Many Australian universities and vocational institutes also have English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) centres on their campuses.

School is compulsory in Australia for children aged between 6 and 15, with matriculation exams for university generally at 18 years old. Australian schools are public and private.
