Australia is undoubtedly an excellent destination for international students. With loads of benefits to offer to the domestic as well as these students pouring in from all over the world, Australia is on its way to becoming the most preferred student destination. Although currently, in terms of international student preference, it stands at 3^rd position globally behind only USA and UK, but recent growth trends show that it won’t be a matter of a big surprise if Australia surpasses these two other nations very soon to become the most preferred nation for international students.

Talking about what Australia has on offer for the overseas students, it offers global qualification recognition and acceptance, high standards of education, a friendly multicultural environment, excellent scholarship options, part-time job opportunities, great standard of living, unmatched research opportunities among other benefits. These benefits attract more and more students every year to this beautiful country which has a beautiful balance between nature and modern hyper cities.

As far as the quality of education and its global recognition is concerned, the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act, play a very important role. The AQF serves as a national framework which regulates the education standard across all levels and ensures that the education standards are kept up at all times across all levels. This provides a sense of security to the students, domestic and overseas alike, that they will get to experience on the best education standards there. This also increases the global confidence in Australian education and increases its recognition across the globe.

The ESOS Act protects the rights of the international students and provides immense security to the best interests of these students. All of this and the already high standard of education in Australia are reasons convincing enough to draw a huge rush of students to Australia from all parts of the world. Students also get a huge variety of courses offered by a myriad of prestigious education providers with campuses across cities and suburbs. But that’s not it. Australia also offers immense options for part-time jobs for students as it can be extremely essential in many cases. International students are allowed to work for up to 40 hours a fortnight during their semesters when the classes are going on. This limit also helps in keeping a fine balance between a student’s focus on the jobs and the studies. However, during the semester breaks, students are allowed to work for unlimited hours.

Coming to the social adjustment part, Australia offers a beautiful and welcoming multicultural environment with mutual respect for all cultures and backgrounds. This makes up for a very warm studying and living environment for all the international students. There already are a huge number of students studying in Australia and when a fresh student arrives there, they find the environment filled with different cultures and absolutely welcoming. The standard of living which Australia offers is also quite high and with the living costs under a good check and a currency that is not exorbitantly expensive, Australia is becoming a paradise for international students from all around the globe.
