    More details about the country

    Australia can be a bit unorthodox to some. It is one of the world’s largest countries and yet at the same time is also one of the smallest continents on the planet. It is a sovereign state which lies between the Pacific and Indian ocean in the Southern Hemisphere and includes in its 2,988,902 square miles of territory the islands of Tasmania and part of the southern shores of Papua New Guinea. It is a country that includes within its territory a variety of terrains ranging from tropical rainforests to temperate landscapes capable of supporting livestock. Of these, the arid desert takes up the most space and is visible from space. Australia is known to be one of the flattest and driest continents. The capital Canberra lies in the south-east of the country, between the cities Sydney and Melbourne.

    Australia is an often-considered and highly popular choice in terms of academic studies. It is a country that accepts about 1.4 million students every year including many who travel from Europe, Asia, or North America. There are several reasons for such an influx of students seeking to further their education by becoming Bachelors, Masters or PhDs. These include the impressive number of 173 universities, each with proper credentials specializing in a wide array of study programs. Such include popular choices such as Business, Arts, Management, Health, Communication, and others. Apart from the remarkable selection of institutions and programs which a student can choose from, there are also other reasons to consider Australia as a study destination. Such include the high graduate employment rate of the country, meaning that a student has a high chance of finding a suitable long-term career within their field of expertise. In addition, many of the universities offer the opportunity to work part-time jobs while studying as well as to participate in internships. As a result, students will be able to accumulate valuable work experience while studying for their chosen profession as well as increase their savings. While the tuition fees can vary greatly based on the chosen program and institution, they tend to be less costly than in other countries while providing high-quality and globally recognized training. Additionally, there are plentiful opportunities for volunteer work such as helping abandoned/orphaned/vulnerable children around the world or assisting with wildlife preservation.
