Studying in Australia is an exciting and enriching experience. Australia is home to a unique and pristine environment, diverse and accepting communities and some of the world’s best universities. In fact, Australia is the third most popular destination in the world for international students, with almost 700,000 students enjoying the Australian lifestyle and higher education system.

A.  Australia’s universities are world-class

For many years, Australian universities have ranked among the best in the world for quality education, student satisfaction and overall global reputation. 
There are 43 universities to choose from in Australia, seven of which are considered to be among the top 100 universities in the world and 17 are considered among the top 100 universities under 50 years old. Australian Government quality control ensures all 41 are of the same world class standard

Australian universities are also regularly ranked in the top 50 in the world in Arts and Humanities; Clinical, Pre-Clinical and Health; Engineering and Technology; Life Sciences; Physical Sciences and Social Sciences. Australian universities contributed to the success of 15 Nobel laureates.

Australian universities are also ranked in the top 50 worldwide in the study areas of Engineering and Technologies, Life Sciences and Medicine, Arts and Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences and Management in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023.
Graduates of Australian courses are in demand. Employers in Australia and worldwide know that Australian qualifications are current, industry-relevant and of a world-class standard. 

B.  Indonesia Students

Australia is proud to be the destination of choice for Indonesian university students studying overseas. Around 8,500 Indonesians study in Australian universities each year.

24% of all Indonesians studying overseas are studying in Australia. There are 50% more Indonesians studying in Australia than in all of Europe.

C.  Accommodations

Many international students stay in short-term accommodation while they become familiar with their new city and meet potential housemates, including hotels, hostels and other temporary options. Your education provider in Australia for help may be able to offer advice and support in finding appropriate accommodation.

You can rent or ‘lease’ a property by yourself or with friends. This can be done through a real estate agent or privately (renting directly from a landlord/owner).   

It is common for international students to live with other students in order to make living costs more affordable. There are often rental and share house options posted on boards at your education institution or at share house websites such as Flatmate Finders or Flatmates.com.au. 

If you rent a house or apartment, you will need to pay a security deposit or ‘bond’ (which is usually equivalent to four weeks’ rent). You will also need to pay some rent in advance (usually to cover the first four weeks of your tenancy). This money is held by the relevant state government department in every Australian state or territory.

D.  Environment and Cultures

International students from all over the world are welcomed by Australia’s friendly, vibrant and multicultural communities.

Australia's culturally diverse communities make it a special place to live. Almost a third of the population was born overseas and 23 per cent speak a language other than English at home.

When you study in Australia, you will also join a vibrant international student community. More than half a million international students from 192 countries choose to study in Australia.

From the moment you arrive in Australia, you can expect to feel welcome. There are student welcome services at every international airport to help you find your way around your new home.

Australia is a popular destination for international students because of its reputation as a safe place to live and study.
