Australia – popular with Indian Students
Australia is the second most popular international education destination for Indian students behind the United States. Australia’s popularity is continuing to grow quickly. In YTD August 2008 around 474,389 international students were enrolled in Australian institutions from some 217 different nationalities. Of these, more than 80,000 were Indian students.
The most popular courses amongst Indian students are Business, Information Technology, Engineering, Science and Hospitality. Though enrolments in higher education sector remain high, vocational education sector is becoming popular with the Indian students.
Indian students find it easy to transfer to the Australian education system due to the similarity in our 10+2+3 education structures. Students can choose from a wide variety of Australian universities and education institutions to suit their specific needs and goals. Each higher education institution has its own strengths and areas of specialisation. This provides students with a wide choice of study options and access to the latest research in their chosen field.
