Why studying in Australia is pretty awesome

Australians (Aussies) are known for their hospitality, something you, as an international student, will benefit from. Get ready to meet some of the nicest people on Earth. Also, the climate in Australia is amazing and difficult to find elsewhere, and the lifestyle is influenced by outdoor activities. Aussies love sports and particularly water sports are popular. After a long day at the beach Aussies gather for a "barbie" (BBQ) in public parks and gardens. You'll find a lot of public BBQ's in Australia. The nature is just as varied as the population, and there are more than 500 national parks and 22.000 miles of stunning coastal scenery in Australia.

Australia's seasons are the opposite of ours thus summer begins in December and winter begins in June. There are large differences in the weather across the country - New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland have hot summers and mild winters. In Tasmania and Victoria winter can be chilly. In the middle of the country it is warm all year around, and up north in the tropics they have dry season from May to September and rainy season from December to March.

Education in Australia

Studying at Australian universities has become very popular, mostly because of the wide course offerings and international standard of the universities. Given Australia's location the universities have a particularly broad offer within international studies, politics and economy and there is a high proportion of international students. All Australian universities that accept international students are quality assured by the Australian authorities. 

Most Australian universities have semester systems and a few have trimester systems. In addition you have the opportunity to take summer courses at many universities. The first semester in the university year lasts from in February to June and the second semester lasts from July to November. 

Australian universities have continuous admission which in practive means that there is no application deadline.
