| Australian Graduate Education System | Australia is among the biggest spenders on education, research and development of the world. This country produces an analogous amount of different scientific research papers as the USA and the UK, what makes Australia an attractive place for international graduate study.
Australian institutions propose a varied range of graduate alternatives and are concerned in lots of advances in the telecommunications, information technology, manufacturing, mining and agricultural industries. There is a strong practical and vocational importance and an emphasis on quality, diversity, access and equity.
Australia is one of the most culturally varied countries in the world – so international students can be sure of being made to feel at home. It is the third most popular study destination in the English-speaking world, with more than 200,000 international students enrolled in Australian third level institutions. As well as Europeans and Americans, this includes an increasing number of students from Asian neighbours such as Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
Australian universities are naturally public and differ considerably in size, with the range from 40,000 students to around 2,000. Every main city of Australian has an important university, and smaller institutions are sprinkled around the country. At graduate level, there is a sensible emphasis on career-orientated and vocational education.
In Australian universities the academic year starts in late February and comes to the end in November. A lot of universities and colleges also admit candidates in July.
