Australia is proud of the quality of its education and training. In the past 10 years, more than 10 lakh students from overseas have studied in Australia.

Students from all around the world have long made Australia their education destination. Latest Enrolment data for 2007 reflects that over 437,000 international students drawn from more than 217 different countries were undertaking an Australian qualification in Australia. These students chose an Australian education for a number of reasons: its reputation for excellence and world-wide recognition; the safety and stability of the Australian society; Australia’s enviable standard of living – one of the highest in the world; and Australia’s multicultural community which helps international students feel at home.

The number of Indian students studying in Australia has also grown rapidly over the past few years. In June 2007, 39,009 Indian students were studying in Australian universities, institutes and colleges at a given point of time. The latest enrolment data for 2007 shows that over 59,000 Indian students had enrolled to undertake an Australian qualification in 2007. India is now the second top-source country for Australia’s international education industry.
