WHY STUDY IN AUSTRALIA
Saturday - 29/11/2025
Among the many study destinations available to Vietnamese students, Australia consistently ranks at the top. Year after year, more Vietnamese families choose Australia over the UK, USA, Canada, and other countries. This trend reflects the trust placed in Australia’s education system – one that is practical, modern, and supportive of student success.
So what makes Australia the number-one choice?
1. Practical, industry-focused education
Across all levels of study, Australian programs are designed by field experts and shaped by real-world needs, workforce demands, industry trends, learner goals, and national development strategies.
2. Strict quality assurance
The Australian Government maintains strong oversight of education quality. Regulations such as the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 ensure that institutions meet specific standards before enrolling international students.
All approved institutions and programs are listed on CRICOS – The Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students.
3. Globally recognized qualifications
Australian high school diplomas are recognized worldwide, enabling students to apply to universities globally. Australian universities are highly respected for teaching quality, research excellence, and global rankings, many rank among the top 50, 100, 200, and 500 universities worldwide. Australian researchers have made major scientific contributions, earning 8 Nobel Prizes.
4. Modern, student-centered teaching methods
Australian education emphasizes critical thinking, independence, creativity, and practical application. Students learn by combining theory with hands-on experience, making them well-prepared for employment with strong academic foundations and real-world skills.
5. A flexible education system
Students can take multiple pathways and have their completed subjects widely recognized across institutions. Most colleges and universities offer a credit-based, multi-disciplinary structure, allowing students to change majors, levels, or institutions easily and flexibly.
6. Reasonable study costs
While not the cheapest option, Australia’s tuition and living expenses are considered reasonable compared with countries offering similar education quality, such as the UK, USA, Canada, and Switzerland.
7. Study entirely in English
Australia provides an ideal English-speaking environment for students to learn and improve their language skills daily. Language centers, both independent and within schools, colleges, and universities are equipped with modern facilities to help students progress quickly. Australians are friendly and often willing to help international students practice English.
8. Safe and welcoming environment
Australia is known for its safety, political stability, low crime rates, strict gun laws, and respect for the law. The country embraces cultural diversity and values the contributions of international students. Schools and communities actively support students in adjusting to Australian life. Many students stay with host families (Homestay), gaining an authentic cultural experience and often becoming part of the family.
9. Close to Vietnam
Australia is only an 8-hour flight from Vietnam, making visits home simple and affordable. This proximity provides great peace of mind for both students and families.
10. Strong employment and migration opportunities
International students may work 48 hours per two weeks, while research students have no work-hour restrictions. Post-graduation work visa (approximate ranges):
- Bachelor’s & coursework Master’s: 2–6 years
- Master’s by Research: 3–7 years
- PhD: 4–8 years
Although migrating through study is not encouraged, Australia does offer friendly skilled migration pathways for qualified graduates.
11. Strong government support for international students
Australia has comprehensive laws to protect international students, including:
- Recognition of overseas qualifications
- Requirements for institutions enrolling international students
- Protection of student rights
- Mandatory student support services
- Assistance with academic and cultural adaptation
- Active student associations and international student support centers
